Dieffenbachia Seguine "Variegated Leopard Lily Tropic Mariana" 15cmPot

Dieffenbachia Tropic Mariana (15cm Pot)

Product Description Dieffenbachia Tropic Mariana is a distinguished tropical foliage plant renowned for its bright, luminous leaf variegation. Each broad, arching paddle-shaped leaf features an expansive creamy-white to pale chartreuse center framed by a crisp, contrasting deep emerald-green border. The high-contrast foliage creates an illuminated, clean aesthetic that instantly brightens interior rooms and sheltered outdoor spaces.

Supplied established in a 15cm container, this robust cultivar maintains an upright, compact clumping habit that branches well from the base. It thrives in medium to bright filtered light, making it a stylish choice for decorative indoor tabletops and plant stands, as well as sheltered, frost-free verandas, covered patios, and shaded courtyard corners.

Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position in bright, indirect daylight or gentle morning sun. Shield from hot, direct rays to prevent scorching the delicate variegated leaf tissue.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry, allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid letting the base sit in stagnant water.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser at half strength once every 4 weeks during spring and summer.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate ambient humidity; mist occasionally or wipe the foliage with a soft, damp cloth to keep dust away.
• Grooming: Remove older yellowing lower leaves at the stem base to maintain a clean appearance. Note: Plant sap contains calcium oxalate crystals; handle with care and keep away from curious pets and small children.
