Description
The Dieffenbachia 'Amy' also known as Dumb Cane is an ideal houseplant for bringing an exotic and refined atmosphere to your interior. With its large dark green leaves marbled and splashed with creamy yellow to creamy white, this variety stands out for its elegance and brightness. Suitable for contemporary or 'jungle' styles, it will find its place in a bright living room or office. Place it near an east- or west-facing window or behind a sheer curtain to filter the light. This plant must be watered exclusively with non-calcareous water.
The Dieffenbachia 'Amy', a member of the Araceae family, is a herbaceous perennial with an upright habit. At maturity, it can reach a height of 60 to 120 cm with a spread of 50 to 70 cm, offering a striking presence indoors. Its broad and ovate leaves can measure up to 40 cm in length. They feature a smooth, glossy texture that highlights the deep green hues and pale yellow marbling or speckling of the lamina. Its growth is fairly rapid under optimal conditions, though it may slow down in cases of insufficient light or humidity. Flowering indoors is rare and discreet, consisting of spathe and spadix inflorescences far less spectacular than its foliage.
Warning - The nickname 'Dumb Cane' reflects the toxicity of its sap, known to cause irritation if ingested.
Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, the Dieffenbachia thrives in humid and shaded environments, often beneath the tree canopy. To recreate this habitat indoors, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light or partial shade, with moderate humidity and temperatures between 16 and 24°C. A rich, well-draining substrate is essential to avoid excess water while maintaining consistent moisture.
The Dieffenbachia 'Amy' fits perfectly in any bright room such as a living room, conservatory, or even an office, as long as the right conditions are met. With its graphic foliage, it blends seamlessly into contemporary, Scandinavian, or urban jungle décor styles. To showcase it, opt for a minimalist white ceramic planter or a natural woven basket and place it on a wooden stand or shelf. This plant can also take pride of place in a corner to create a lush focal point. Pair it with a Zamioculcas or an Aspidistra elatior 'Zebra' to create a lush and harmonious ensemble.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
