Dieffenbachia ‘White Etna’ - exemplare mari

Dieffenbachia ‘White Etna’, also known as “Dumb Cane White Etna”, is a modern and elegant variety of dieffenbachia, appreciated for its large, glossy foliage with a contrasting pattern of cream-white and dark green. It is a tropical indoor plant with vertical growth, ideal for bright spaces where it can become a visual focal point.

🔹 Botanical characteristics:

• Habit: Plant with erect and vigorous growth, which can reach a height of 60–120 cm, depending on age and environmental conditions.

• Leaves: Large, oval and elongated, with dark green edges and a cream-white or whitish-green center, sometimes with green spots or speckles creating a marbled effect. The surface is glossy, and the leaf is thick and succulent, with visible veins.

• Stem: Thick and slightly succulent, with a woody stem appearance at the base, supporting the leaves in a compact manner.

🔹 Recommended growing conditions:

• Light: Prefers strong indirect light. In low light, the leaf pattern loses intensity. Direct sun exposure is avoided as it can cause leaf burns.

• Watering: Moderate. Water when the top layer of the substrate is dry, avoiding both complete drying and overwatering.

• Soil: Well-drained and rich in organic matter. A peat and perlite-based indoor plant mix is recommended.

• Temperature: Prefers a warm and constant environment. Does not tolerate cold drafts or low temperatures.

• Humidity: Appreciates medium to high humidity. Regular misting or a humidifier is recommended, especially in winter.

• Fertilization: During the growing season (spring–summer), fertilize every 2–4 weeks with a liquid fertilizer for ornamental foliage plants.

• Propagation: By stem cuttings or separating shoots from the base.

• Maintenance: Low to moderate. Requires occasional cleaning of leaves from dust and attention to proper watering.

Dieffenbachia ‘White Etna’ is a refined choice for interior decor, bringing brightness and natural contrast through its spectacular leaves. It is ideal for living rooms, offices, or bright hallways and adapts easily with minimal care.
