{"product_id":"ps-1ltr-hp-die-com-can","title":"Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane) – Variegated Tropical Houseplant (12cm Pot)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDieffenbachia, better known as Dumb Cane, is a bold tropical houseplant grown for its large, glossy leaves splashed with green and creamy white variegation. It is an easy, fast-growing choice for a living room, office or hallway, and tolerates a wide range of indoor light, including spots that get less sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeft to grow on, it develops an upright, bushy shape with broad decorative foliage that makes a strong impression in a bright corner. It likes consistently warm conditions and some humidity, so it is happiest away from cold windowsills and draughts, and it benefits from an occasional misting or a spot near a humidifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plant is supplied well rooted in its pot and ready to grow on. Position it in bright, indirect light to medium light for the best leaf colour, and let the top few centimetres of compost dry out between waterings, watering less in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDieffenbachia is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or eaten, and the RHS lists it as a skin and eye irritant too. The sap is also the source of its common name, as it can cause painful swelling of the mouth and throat if chewed, so gloves are worth wearing when handling or taking cuttings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dumb Cane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 60-120cm tall and 40-80cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, bushy evergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Living rooms, offices and bright hallways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, variegated leaves in green and cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light to medium light; tolerates lower light levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining houseplant compost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not frost hardy; an indoor plant only, best kept above 15°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; allow compost to dry between waterings and feed occasionally in the growing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen tropical houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"1 Plant","offer_id":67617678164188,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-DIE-COM-CANX1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Plants","offer_id":67617678196956,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-DIE-COM-CANX2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Plants","offer_id":67617678229724,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-DIE-COM-CANX3","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_42c678e2-cdd9-4d74-9110-7d535fd507fe.png?v=1790891873","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/ps-1ltr-hp-die-com-can","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
