Dieffenbachia Sterling is a stunning variety of Dieffenbachia with dark green leaves and a contrasting cream vein running down the center of each leaf. Dieffenbachia's common name, Dumb Cane, comes from the fact that the liquid that drips from its leaves can cause a temporary loss of speech if ingested. Due to its toxic juices, this plant is not recommended for homes with small children or pets that chew on your plants.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

All of our deliveries are carbon neutral.

Pro tips

If you mist it once a week or so it will really help the health of the leaves. Or let it steam in the bathroom once in a while as you relax.

Care Guide

How to take care of Dieffenbachia Sterling

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

They will do well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

They will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier!

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Our Story

Falling in love with houseplants was a happy accident. Embracing indoor plants filled the void of being away from nature, diminished our loneliness, and helped overcome the fear of missing out.

As we grew with our plant collection, we realized there was more to appreciate beyond instant gratification. We cherish the memories, experiences, and people we've encountered on our journey with houseplants. The very first plant we cared for, the friends who gifted us their precious cuttings, and the special ones who supported us along our plant journey are what make us JOMO.
