Dieffenbachia ‘Tasmanian Tiger’

Description

‘Tasmanian Tiger’ boasts large, dark green leaves with mottled yellow striping that mimics the majestic stripes of a tiger. Growing quite large over time, ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ has the potential to reign supreme over your collection–especially if it is given medium to bright light, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures above 60 degrees. This is an easy-to-grow variety, overall, but it does not like cold drafts. The common name for this plant is “dumb cane” because consumption of its sap may cause throat swelling & speechlessness, thus rendering one “dumb.”
