Dieffenbachia seguine 'Crocodile' is a distinctive foliage cultivar with broad green leaves, pale mottling and a raised midrib texture that creates its crocodile-skin effect. Upright growth lets the textured blades sit clearly above the pot, so the surface detail stays visible as the plant fills out. The ribbed centre line and mottled blade surface give the cultivar a tactile look across each broad leaf. Keep it warm in filtered bright light to bright shade, using a chunky, airy aroid mix that dries in the upper layer before watering. The calcium oxalate sap makes careful placement around pets and children important.
