Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dieffenbachia sap actually toxic?
Its sap contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause immediate, painful irritation to skin and mouth tissue if chewed; the source of its common name 'dumb cane.' Handle cuttings with gloves and keep the plant away from pets and children.
Why are some Dieffenbachia cultivars pricier than others?
Heavily cream/white patterned cultivars (Tropic Snow, Tropic Marianne) have less chlorophyll-bearing tissue and grow slower than greener forms, which keeps propagation output, and therefore supply, lower relative to demand.
