Know before you buy
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its variegated leaves.
No, this plant is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or small children.
The Dieffenbachia Camille requires moderate watering. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings, as the plant is somewhat drought-tolerant once established.
When provided with proper care and space, the Dieffenbachia Camille can reach a mature height of up to 6 feet. Its bushy growth habit makes it an excellent sculptural piece for corners or entryways.
It prefers medium humidity levels. While it is quite adaptable to standard indoor conditions, it will appreciate an occasional misting or a spot in a room with slightly higher moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen.
