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