Baby Plants - Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy

Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy is the perfect plant. It is vibrant and makes a statement yet it is unassuming and definitely not flashy - this plant appears effortlessly cool! In the right conditions, Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy is simple to care for and doesn’t demand too much attention, making it ideal for experienced and new plant parents alike.

The large paddle-shaped leaves are bright green in colour and dappled with pale green and creamy hues that create a unique decorative effect. The foliage grows on stalks, which, if needed, can be pruned and the plant will quickly grow back.

Also known as Dumb Cane due to its sap, Dieffenbachia Maculata Amy can be toxic so is best kept out of reach of children and pets. No lasting damage will be done, but the sap can cause some swelling and discomfort if swallowed. Always wash your hands after coming into contact with the sap.

Growing your Dumb Cane from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
