TheGreenEscape Dieffenbachia Carina Plant

A starter plant is a young specimen that has been propagated and rooted, typically in a smaller 2-inch container. It is designed for hobbyists who enjoy nurturing a plant as it matures into its full size, rather than buying a fully grown houseplant.

Carefully remove the packaging and allow the plant to acclimate to your home's environment for a few days before repotting. Since it arrives in a soil pod, keep it lightly moist but not waterlogged until you are ready to transplant it into a permanent container.

Yes, like all Dieffenbachia varieties, this plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best placed in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

To keep the creamy yellow and white patterns vibrant, place this plant in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the variegation to fade and the plant to become leggy.

The minimum order requirement helps ensure the plants remain stable and protected during the shipping process. Shipping two plants together creates a more secure package, reducing the risk of damage or shifting while in transit.
