Add This Tropical Gem to Your Space! 🇨🇦 Local Pickup in Richmond Hill | Insured Winter Shipping to Ottawa, Toronto & Quebec All the Details You Need to Know The Story Behind This Plant Dieffenbachias originate from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where they grow under the protection of larger tree canopies. The Tiki cultivar was selected for its distinct speckled pattern, which looks like fine silver paint tossed across deep green leaves. Its common name, Dumb Cane, comes from the plant sap, which contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause temporary mouth irritation if chewed. How to Keep Your Tiki Happy Taking care of a Dieffenbachia Tiki is straightforward as long as you give it good light and avoid overwatering. Follow these simple guidelines: Light: Place it in bright, indirect light. It can handle medium light, but bright indirect light helps keep the silver speckling strong. Keep it out of direct sun to prevent leaf scorching. Water: Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and let the excess drain out fully. Humidity: Enjoys average to high humidity. It copes well with standard indoor air, but appreciates a nearby humidifier during dry Canadian winters. Soil: Use a loose, well-draining potting mixture rich in perlite and peat to prevent water from pooling around the roots. Temperature: Keep it warm between 18°C and 26°C. Protect it from cold drafts near doors and icy winter windows.

Why are the lower leaves on my Dieffenbachia Tiki turning yellow? Yellowing leaves on a Dieffenbachia are usually caused by overwatering or soil that stays wet for too long. Let the top couple of inches of soil dry before watering again. If it is just an occasional bottom leaf shedding while new growth appears at the top, that is completely normal. Is Dieffenbachia Tiki toxic to pets? Yes, all Dieffenbachia varieties contain calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested. Place it on a tall plant stand or table away from pets. How fast does the Tiki variety grow indoors? It is a moderate to fast grower during spring and summer. With adequate light and regular feeding during the warm months, it quickly pushes out new leaves from its central cane. "How big does a Dieffenbachia Tiki get indoors?" In a typical home environment, it grows about 2 to 4 feet tall and roughly 2 feet wide. It maintains an upright, tree-like shape that fits nicely in corners or beside furniture.
