10" Dieffenbachia Panther
The Dieffenbachia 'Panther', also known as the Panther Dumb Cane or Panther Lily, is an eye-catching tropical houseplant known for its large, deep green leaves heavily variegated with creamy-white or light green streaks and speckles. This relatively low-maintenance plant is popular for adding a bold, exotic touch to indoor spaces and is noted for its air-purifying qualities.
Light: Needs bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid variegation. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the lighter parts of the leaves.
Temperature: Warmth is critical for this species. It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F; higher temperatures typically encourage more pronounced variegation.
Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60% or higher), though it is moderately adaptable to average household levels.
Safety: Like other philodendrons, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
