TheGreenEscape Dieffenbachia Plant

A starter plant is a young, actively growing specimen that is smaller than a typical nursery plant. It arrives in a 2-inch pot, meaning it will need to be transplanted into a slightly larger container once it acclimates to your home environment.

No, Dieffenbachia plants are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

It is completely normal for starter plants to experience minor leaf loss or browning during transit due to the stress of shipping. As long as the root system remains healthy and firm, the plant will bounce back quickly once it is potted and given proper light and water.

Dieffenbachia are generally moderate growers. Once established in a new pot with consistent care, you can expect to see new leaves unfurl steadily throughout the spring and summer growing seasons.

The soil pod is designed to protect the roots during shipping. When you are ready to repot, gently remove any excess packaging material, place the root ball into your chosen container, and fill in the gaps with a well-draining indoor potting mix.
