Dieffenbachia 'Amy' is an upright tropical foliage plant with broad green leaves patterned with lighter green to creamy speckling. Its cane-like but leafy growth gives it a structured aroid shape with an upright outline and lively patterned foliage. Place it in bright indirect light or moderate filtered light, with warmth and steady humidity for even leaf development. Water once the upper substrate has started to dry, using an airy, well-draining mix that still holds some moisture. Its sap contains calcium oxalate, so keep it away from pets and children. The compact, patterned form gives structure in a small footprint.
