About

Compacta is a dwarf-form Dieffenbachia cultivar, staying noticeably smaller and more densely leaved than typical Dieffenbachia while retaining the classic cream-and-green mottled leaf pattern of the wider genus. Its smaller footprint makes it a practical choice for desks and shelves where a full-size Dieffenbachia wouldn't fit.
