Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’

This decorative house plant is perfect for a bright and humid room, well away from the direct glare of the sun. Its marbled leaves bring a tropical feel to your home and purify the air of harmful toxins. This eye-catching foliage plant forms a neat and bushy clump while young, but later sheds the lower leaves to reveal a bare stem, creating a palm-effect at maturity. As its name suggests, Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ is a more compact variety which won’t quickly outgrow its space. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 45cm (18″).

Please note: Dieffenbachia is also known as the Dumb Cane as the sap is known to numb the mouth if ingested, and is toxic if eaten.

Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
