Dieffenbachia Green Gold 8”

Dieffenbachia ‘Green Magic’ is a lush, tropical plant admired for its broad, deep green leaves and bold, creamy white central vein. A member of the Araceae family and native to Central and South America, this variety is more subtle in its coloring than some other dieffenbachias, giving it a sophisticated, modern look. It's popular in homes and offices for its clean foliage and air-purifying properties — and it grows well even in less-than-perfect lighting.

This plant thrives best in bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sun can scorch its leaves, while deep shade may cause slower growth or leaf drop. A spot near a north- or east-facing window works well, or filter stronger light with sheer curtains. Rotate the plant regularly for balanced growth, as it naturally leans toward its light source.

In terms of care, Dieffenbachia ‘Green Magic’ likes consistent moisture but not soggy soil. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, and use a well-draining potting mix. It enjoys moderate humidity and will appreciate the occasional misting, especially in dry indoor air. Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Wipe the leaves gently to keep them dust-free and healthy. Note: Like all dieffenbachias, its sap is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children. With simple care, this striking plant adds a bold yet calming presence to any room.
