Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the leaves of my Dieffenbachia turning yellow? Almost always due to overwatering or soil that is too soggy. Let the surface of the substrate dry out before watering and make sure the pot has proper drainage. Cold or drafts can also cause this symptom.
How do I clean the large leaves of a Dieffenbachia? Gently wipe each leaf with a soft, slightly damp cloth, supporting the leaf from underneath. Wear gloves — the sap is irritating. Avoid shiny products that block stomata and disrupt photosynthesis.

Its large light green oval leaves, edged with dark green and adorned with a contrasting spotted pattern in the center, create generous and graphic foliage. Its large size H75 cm makes it a statement plant ideal for spacious areas. H75 cm | Pot Ø21 cm.

Which Dieffenbachia variety to choose?
The Dieffenbachia genus comes in various sizes and variegations. Find all our varieties in our complete Dieffenbachia collection:
- Dieffenbachia 'Caiman'® (this plant) — light green edged with dark green, spotted patterns in the center, H75 cm. The most contrasting.
- Dieffenbachia 'Tropic Snow' — large leaves with generous white spots, large size. The brightest.
- Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' — bright cream white center edged with dark green, compact size. The most understated.
- Dieffenbachia Mars — green foliage with elegant yellow-green patterns. The most subtle.
- Dieffenbachia Vesuvius — very large dark green leaves with light veins, H80 cm. The most majestic.
Exposure & location
- Ideal exposure: filtered indirect light in partial shade.
- Tolerates: low light.
- Avoid: direct sunlight that burns large leaves, drafts, and cold temperatures.
- Temperature: 18–27 °C, without sudden changes.
- Humidity: prefers 50–70% — mist occasionally.
- Space: allow room for its large leaves to spread freely.
Its light green foliage reflects available light well — an advantage in low-light spaces. Check out our light and humidity guide to find the right spot.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — allow the substrate surface to dry between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: pot must have drainage holes — excess water causes leaves to yellow.
- Fertilizer: diluted liquid green plant fertilizer, once a month in spring and summer.
- Cleaning: gently wipe large leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine.
Wear gloves for repotting or pruning — sap irritates skin and mucous membranes. See our repotting guide for proper steps.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its large leaves with contrasting spotted patterns make it a statement plant that naturally stands out in a large space.
- As a statement plant: placed in a bright corner of a living room or office, it creates a bold, graphic green focal point.
- In arrangements: pair it with an Aglaonema Silver Queen or a Calathea Medallion — same shade tolerance, very complementary foliage.
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic in white, gray, or terracotta — neutral tones highlight the light green / dark green leaf contrast.

Verdeia advice
- Regularly dust large leaves — a damp cloth improves photosynthesis and restores leaf shine.
- Repot every 2-3 years — in spring into a slightly larger pot. Wear gloves — sap is irritating. Check our care calendar for the right steps by season.
- ⚠️ Toxic to pets and sap is irritating — keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and young children. Wash your hands after handling. See our plants and pets guide for suitable alternatives.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
