Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' is a striking cultivar of the popular Dieffenbachia genus, known for its highly ornamental, variegated foliage. The leaves are large, ovate, and feature a dark green base with speckled, neon-green to yellow patches across the surface, creating a dappled effect that makes the plant stand out. The leaf veins are prominently visible, often in lighter shades of green, which further adds to the reflective quality of its foliage. With its upright growth habit, Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' can reach up to 90 cm tall when grown indoors, making it an attractive focal point for indoor spaces.
Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' is easy to care for, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation. It prefers moderate conditions typical of indoor environments and does not require excessive attention. However, care should be taken to keep the plant out of reach of pets and small children, as it contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic if ingested.
Native to
Dieffenbachia species are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. They naturally grow in the understory of the forest, where they thrive in humid, shaded environments. Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' has been bred for its unique leaf pattern and is widely grown as an ornamental indoor plant across temperate regions.
Water
Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' prefers consistently moist soil but should not be left sitting in water. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of the soil feels dry to the touch. It's important to allow excess water to drain away to avoid root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows down.
Light
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, its vibrant leaf patterns will be more pronounced with adequate lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves and cause fading of the variegation.
Humidity
High humidity, ideally around 60-80%, is preferred for Dieffenbachia 'Reflector', as it mimics its natural tropical environment. It can be grown successfully in more humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens, or you can boost humidity by using a humidifier.
Temperature
Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' grows best in temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to chilly conditions, which can cause stunted growth or leaf drop. Maintaining a stable, warm indoor environment will keep the plant healthy and encourage lush growth
