The Dieffenbachia Star Bright is a stunning tropical plant that's perfect for new plant parents. Its long, tapering leaves feature a beautiful mix of creamy white and green, with dark speckles and edges that add extra visual interest.
While it thrives in bright indirect light, this adaptable plant can handle lower light conditions too. Just water it when the top of the soil feels dry, and keep it in normal room temperatures away from cold drafts. Be careful though – this beauty comes with a warning. Its sap can irritate skin, and it's toxic if eaten, so keep it away from kids and pets.
Care is straightforward: a well-draining pot, monthly fertilizer during growing season, and occasional pruning of yellow leaves is all it needs. Watch for common pests like spider mites, but otherwise, this easy-going plant won't demand much of your time.
