Dieffenbachia 'Camille'

Scientific name

Dieffenbachia ‘Camille’

General description

Dieffenbachia ‘Camille’ is a bushy indoor plant with large leaves variegated in dark and light green.

Origin

Horticultural variant of the Dieffenbachia genus, native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, selected for its decorative foliage and compactness.

Care

• Light: bright to medium indirect light; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.

• Watering: keep the substrate slightly moist; water when the surface begins to dry and avoid stagnant water.

• Humidity: appreciated, but it tolerates typical indoor ambient humidity.

• Temperature: between ~18 and 27 °C; avoid excessively low temperatures or drafts.

• Substrate: rich, light, and well-draining mix, with good root aeration.

Special advice

• Clean the leaves to preserve their variegation and avoid dust.

• Rotate the plant regularly to ensure uniform growth.

• Repot when it becomes root-bound, but avoid a pot that is too large, as this could slow its growth.

• Toxic if ingested by humans and animals.
