Dieffenbachia Camouflage, 4-Inch Pot
Bring soft patterned greenery to a bright shelf with Dieffenbachia Camouflage. Broad, oval leaves blend shades of green and pale cream in irregular marbled markings, so each leaf adds a slightly different pattern. Its upright, leafy growth makes a tropical tabletop accent at shipping size.
Points of interest and size
- One live Dieffenbachia Camouflage in a 4-inch nursery grow pot; current height, pattern and fullness vary naturally.

- New leaves emerge from upright stems and unfurl with their own green-and-cream markings.
Care guide
- Light: Bright filtered or indirect light supports the patterned foliage. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves; low light may reduce growth.
- Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil starts to dry, then allow the nursery pot to drain. Avoid soggy soil or standing water and reduce watering in winter.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor or aroid potting mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes.
- Humidity and temperature: Moderate household humidity is suitable, with higher humidity helpful in dry rooms. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
- Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, feed with balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its label about monthly. Reduce or pause in winter.
- Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves near the stem with clean scissors. An overgrown cane can be cut back above a node to encourage new growth; avoid contact with sap and wash hands after handling.
- Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size in spring using fresh draining mix, keeping the same planting depth.
- Propagation: Mature stems can be propagated from sections with at least one node in warm, lightly moist propagation mix; let roots and new growth establish before potting. Wear gloves when handling cut stems.
