Dieffenbachia 'Reflector'

Reflector carries a dark green leaf densely speckled with small cream and light-green flecks, a finer and more evenly distributed pattern than the bold centre-stripe or blotchy styles of other Dieffenbachia cultivars. The dense flecking gives the leaf surface a shimmering quality in good light, which is where the cultivar's name comes from.
