Dieffenbachia Seguine, Tropic Snow
Dieffenbachia seguine is a genus of tropical flowering plants in the family Araceae. Some species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, especially as houseplants, and have become naturalized on a few tropical islands. commonly used in interior landscaping in Dubai and UAE.
The name comes from the effects of ingesting the plant sap, which can cause a temporary inability to speak. It has huge variegated leaves. Even the way it grows is showy, new leaves curling up from the central stem before they unfurl.
A large leafy winner in the Dieffenbachia family, this dumb cane is alive with colour. Big broad waxy leaves are electrified with bright white and yellow striping, giving this proud plant a point of difference from its cousins.
The diffused variegation on its long arching leaves is framed in a lush green veining and perimeter, making the plant look almost ornamental, ideal for exotic displays in bright spaces.
