Dieffenbachia Camille

Dieffenbachia ‘Camille’ 🌿 has broad tropical leaves with creamy centers and deep green edges, giving it a bright, leafy look that stands out without feeling too busy. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays nicest and it can add a fresh pop to offices, bedrooms, and living spaces. This is a fairly easy plant for most indoor growers, as long as you avoid overwatering and don’t stick it in a dark corner. Pro tip: if the leaves start yellowing or getting mushy, check the soil first 🚰—it usually means it’s staying too wet for too long.
