How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Dieffenbachia seguine 'Reflector'
Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' has dark green leaves with fine lighter speckling and a pale central vein. The leaves stay mostly dark green, with brighter markings across each blade.
Young plants stay full and leafy. With age, the stems thicken into short canes and the plant takes on a more upright shape. Wipe the broad leaves regularly so dust does not build up and pests are easier to spot early.
Dark speckled foliage and pale midrib
- Dark green leaves with lighter green speckling.
- Pale central vein through each broad blade.
- Upright habit with developing cane-like stems.
- Broader crown as the plant matures.
- Mature stems can be shortened and rooted from node sections.
Reflector foliage and species background
Dieffenbachia seguine belongs to Araceae, the aroid family, and is native from the Caribbean into tropical South America. Indoors, it needs filtered light, warmth and a mix that keeps air around the roots.
The name Dieffenbachia honours Joseph Dieffenbach, who was associated with the Schönbrunn gardens in Vienna.
Reflector indoors
Good indirect light helps the stems stay shorter and the crown grow evenly. Low light can stretch the stems and make the crown lean, while strong direct sun can leave dry tan patches on the leaves. Dust can dull the leaves and make pests harder to spot along the midrib and petiole joints.
Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' care
- Light: Give bright indirect to medium indirect light. Keep the leaves away from hot direct sun.
- Water: Water when the upper few centimetres of substrate begin to dry, then drain the pot fully.
- Substrate: Use a loose, well-aerated mix with bark, perlite, coco fibre or houseplant compost.
- Temperature: Keep at 18–27 °C and protect the root ball from cold floors, draughts and cold glass.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity helps broad leaves open with fewer crisp margins.
- Leaf care: Wipe leaves with a damp soft cloth while supporting each blade from underneath.
- Feeding: Feed modestly during growth. Flush the substrate with plain water if salts build up.
- Stem renewal: Remove old lower leaves cleanly. Tall stems can be shortened above a node and rooted in warm conditions.
Reflector leaf and stem problems
- Stem base softness: Check drainage, lower root health and moisture deep in the potting mix.
- Tan dry patches: Check for direct sun, heat near glass or cold contact on the leaves.
- Sparse leaning growth: Improve filtered light and turn the pot regularly.
- Crisp margins: Review watering gaps, dry warm air, salt build-up and cold exposure.
- Sticky residue or fine webbing: Inspect leaf undersides, the pale midrib and petiole joints for scale, mealybugs, aphids or mites.
Reflector stem care
Fresh cuts can release irritating Dieffenbachia sap. Wear gloves for pruning, repotting and stem cuttings, and keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.
A mature Dieffenbachia may produce a small aroid-style flower, but 'Reflector' is mainly kept indoors for its dark speckled leaves, pale central vein and upright cane-like stems.
