About Dieffenbachia seguine 'Crocodile'

Crocodile is a Dieffenbachia seguine cultivar named for the rough, raised, reptilian texture of its leaf surface: a much bumpier, more tactile blade than the smooth, glossy foliage typical of most Dieffenbachia cultivars. It shares the same cane-forming, upright growth habit and easygoing care needs as the rest of the seguine family, distinguished mainly by this distinctive leaf texture rather than colour patterning.

Before You Buy

Shared checklist for Dieffenbachia seguine and its cultivated forms

  • Sap contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause temporary numbing of the mouth and throat if chewed; keep well away from pets and children, and wash hands after handling cuttings
  • Widely available and inexpensive; be cautious of pricing implying rarity for the plain species
  • For a mature, tree-like specimen, check the cane is thick and self-supporting rather than thin and floppy
  • Confirm you're buying the plain seguine species rather than the 'Camouflage' or 'Crocodile' named forms, which are priced and patterned differently
