Dieffenbachia maculata, which has the unfortunate common name of ‘Dumb Cane’ (due to its potential to cause speaking and breathing difficulties if ingested so please don’t eat!) has great colouration and patterning, so it’s an ideal plant to liven up indoor space. It thrives in a brightly lit spot out of direct sunlight, but it will also grow in medium-light zones. Dieffenbachia can grow into a large specimen, up to 1.8m tall, making it a great standalone feature, but it can also be grouped with other foliage plants for visual interest. In the garden, use dieffenbachia to brighten up shady areas- under trees for example. The broad, patterned foliage is a fabulous statement piece, especially when paired with solid-green foliage plants
