CloseDieffenbachia 'Perfecta Compacta,' aka Dumb Cane, has large, irregularly variegated leaves that can add life to the plainest of rooms. Don't overwater and give it a well-lighted exposure for maximum growth. Dumb Cane is so named because its sap will cause mouth tissues to become inflamed and swollen if chewed, so keep out of reach of children and pets.
