PlantVine Dieffenbachia Tropic Marianne

This plant thrives in medium to bright indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, you will notice the variegation on the leaves becomes less vibrant and the growth may slow down significantly.

No, this plant is toxic to pets. The sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation, swelling, and discomfort if ingested, so it is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room your pets cannot access.

You should allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering is the most common mistake with this variety, so always check the soil moisture rather than sticking to a strict calendar schedule.

The Tropic Marianne is a manageable houseplant that typically reaches a mature height of 2 to 3 feet. Its upright, bushy growth habit makes it a great choice for tabletops or as a floor plant in smaller corners.

It is perfectly natural for the oldest, lowest leaves to yellow and drop off as the plant matures and grows new foliage. However, if you see multiple leaves yellowing at once, it is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.
