Dieffenbachia 'Sublime'

dumb cane

Product Image
Thriving in low-light environments, and requiring modest care once correctly situated, ‘Sublime’ will impress with its impressive large leaves exhibiting a stunning blend of deep green and creamy white, creating a captivating visual contrast that conjures the drama of the South American jungle from which it hails. As the plant matures, it becomes a lush, bushy specimen showcasing the species' characteristic diversity with its speckled mix of light and dark green, white, and cream hues. For the best variegation, grow out of direct sunlight.

Please note that the plant comes in a 17cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Dieffenbachia Sublime:

Keep well watered during the growing season (less so in winter) and mist regularly with water to maintain humidity. If the leaves start to get dusty, they can be washed occasionally - either by using a damp cloth or popping it under the shower. Avoid draughts, maintain temperatures above 15°C in winter and repot in spring.
