Dieffenbachia Seguine "Variegated Leopard Lily Summer Style" 15cmPot

Dieffenbachia Summer Style (15cm Pot)

Product Description Dieffenbachia Summer Style is a lush, tropical foliage showstopper admired for its dramatic, highly variegated leaves and robust upright habit. Each broad, paddle-shaped leaf displays an energetic splash of creamy-white and luminous chartreuse-lime through the center, transitioning outward into speckled deep-emerald margins.

Supplied well-rooted in a handy 15cm nursery container, this cultivar boasts a self-branching, bushy form that avoids the bare lower stems common to older dumb cane varieties. Thriving in medium to bright indirect daylight, it serves as an exceptional tabletop or floor accent indoors, as well as a striking feature for sheltered, frost-free patios, verandas, and shaded garden nooks.

Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position in bright, filtered light or gentle morning sun. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the variegated foliage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain freely away. Reduce watering frequency slightly during cooler winter months.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser at half strength once a month during spring and summer.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally or group with other tropical plants in drier indoor environments.
• Grooming: Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep dust away and maintain glossy leaf luster. Note: Plant sap contains calcium oxalate crystals; handle with care and keep away from pets and small children.
