Dieffenbachia, commonly known as Dumb Cane or Leopard Lily, is a popular tropical houseplant native to Central and South America. It is recognized by its large, lush, ovate-oblong leaves that feature striking variegation in shades of white, cream, yellow, and green. These bold leaves typically grow from a single, thick, trunk-like stem. While it is a beautiful indoor staple, it is toxic and not safe for pets or small children if ingested.
