All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

The **Dieffenbachia Camille** belongs to the Araceae family and is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. It earned the common name "Dumb Cane" because its sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause temporary speechlessness if ingested. Historically, these plants have been staples in interior design since the Victorian era due to their ability to adapt to lower light levels found inside homes. The 'Camille' cultivar specifically was bred for its exceptionally bright variegation and compact stature.

How to Keep It Happy

To keep those creamy centers bright and the plant thriving, follow these simple care guidelines:

**Light:** Prefers **bright, indirect light**. While it can tolerate lower light, the white variegation will stay most vibrant in brighter spots. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
**Water:** Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Dieffenbachia likes to stay consistently moist but never waterlogged. Yellowing lower leaves can be a sign of overwatering.
**Humidity:** Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, consider a pebble tray or occasional misting to prevent brown leaf tips.
**Soil:** Thrives in a well-draining, peat-based potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing excess water to escape.
**Temperature:** Keep it warm! It prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold windows or AC drafts.
**Safety Note:** Keep out of reach of pets and children, as the sap is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation.

What to Do About Pests

Dieffenbachia is generally hardy, but it pays to keep an eye out for these common hitchhikers:

If you spot any trouble, refer to our expert guides:

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
