It can be hard to tear your eyes away from the Camouflage Dieffenbachia. Long, sword-shaped foliage has a white midrib and varying shades of green variegation, creating a camouflage look. The leaves slightly bend at the center and gently arch, putting the lovely colors on full display. Camouflage Dieffenbachia is an easy-care houseplant and thrives with minimal attention.
Best Locations For Growing Camouflage Dieffenbachia
Dieffenbachia plants do best in sunny locations with increased humidity. Feature this leafy beauty on an end table or desk or display it on a plant stand when it gets bigger. Be aware that this plant is not pet friendly, so choose a spot that is not accessible to your furry friends.
Camouflage Dieffenbachia Sunlight Requirements
This plant needs medium to bright indirect light. Increased levels of sunlight help this beauty grow and push out new foliage. However, the Camouflage Dieffenbachia can just as easily live in medium light and add color and visual interest to not-so-bright areas of the home.
Camouflage Dieffenbachia Care
Prune dead or damaged growth as needed, but wear gloves and wash your shears before and after use. Dieffenbachia produces a sap that can cause skin irritation, so be careful not to come into contact with the sap. If you do touch the sap, wash the affected area right away.
Watering Camouflage Dieffenbachia
Water Camouflage Dieffenbachia when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Completely saturate the soil when it is time to water and allow extra water to drain through the pot. Dieffenbachias are forgiving plants and will bounce back quickly if you are late with water. Camouflage Dieffenbachia can live in average humidity but performs best in high humidity.
Feeding Camouflage Dieffenbachia
Feed the Camouflage Dieffenbachia once per month when the plant is actively growing. Use a balanced, water-soluble plant food, or encourage more foliage using a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Dieffenbachia does not need to be fertilized while dormant.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
