Dieffenbachia 'Tropic Snow'

Dieffenbachia ‘Tropic Snow’ 🌿 has large tropical leaves splashed with creamy white and green, giving it a bright, lush look that stands out fast in living rooms, offices, and cozy corners. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the variegation stays nicest and the plant can keep a full, upright shape without much fuss. This is a fairly easy plant for most indoor growers, as long as you avoid soggy soil and very dark placement. Pro tip: if the leaves start yellowing or getting soft, check the soil first 🚰—it usually means it’s staying too wet for too long.
