Dieffenbachia 'Tropic Snow'

Tropic Snow grows considerably taller than most Dieffenbachia cultivars, reaching well over 6 feet with maturity, and carries heavily variegated leaves in silver, cream, and green with irregular blotchy patterning less uniform than Camille's clean centre-stripe pattern. A floor-specimen choice for anyone with the vertical space to let it mature.
