Dieffenbachia is a popular, easy-going houseplant with attractive foliage. Just keep it away from pets and children.

Dieffenbachia plants, or dumbcanes, are lovely tropical houseplants that excel indoors. Their lush leaves, arum-like flowers, and tall statures make them the perfect plants for indoor decorating.

For this reason, it’s not recommended to grow this plant if you have curious kids or pets who like to nibble. Dieffenbachia prefers bright light, but it will tolerate moderate to low light levels.
