With big, eye-catching leaves, it's no wonder Dieffenbachia Carina is such a popular houseplant. They're easy to care for, love growing tall, and are more than happy to hang out in medium-light conditions. Fortunately, most Dumb Canes wont need pruning, but if you want to propagate, it usually takes quite well.

Plant Bio

Dieffenbachia Carina (aka dumb canes) is a seriously popular houseplant. Its lush foliage is made up of large leaves in a vibrant medium green color, with variegated splotches in darker and lighter tones. It's super easy to care for, and just needs an occasional spritz. Grow it in a pot, a hanging basket or train it on a trellis.

Roots

Native to Mexico, this genus was named after Herr Joseph Dieffenbach, head gardener at the Royal Palace Gardens.

Fun Facts

Funnily enough, it's known as 'Dumb Cane' because it has a mildly poisoning effect that, if ingested, temporarily numbs your mouth. Please don't try this at home :P

Customer Reviews

Gorgeous

Arrived in beautiful condition, and much more full and lush than I expected. A gorgeous centerpiece on our kitchen buffet!

Wow

I was so impressed when my new baby came in the mail. It was packaged so professionally and my new baby is thriving so much. You guys rock!!

Lively Root Rocks!

My plant arrived healthy and quickly. So happy with it. Will continue to order from Lively Root - all of my experiences have been positive!

Satisfied customer

Great plant, arrived safely, packaged well and is thriving.

Size was smaller

While the plant arrived healthy, the size was smaller than I expected.

My recent order

Love my Dieffenbachia!

Beautiful and Healthy

My plant arrived very full and healthy looking. I took off 1 point because it did not arrive with the care instructions.

Nice plant!

I really like this plant and the pot it arrived in! I took off one star because 1/3 of the leaves were yellowing or browning. I’m in the belief that this took place during transport. However, I did order two other plants (different species) at the same time and they were perfectly fine. Thankfully, the other 2/3 of the leaves seem healthy enough right now for the plant to do well.

Beautiful Pineapple!

Love that I got one of the pineapple plants! It arrived well packaged, not a thing out of place. I bought this knowing it something my kid would love to help with and she has! It's become her plant to tend!
