Dieffenbachia seguine 'Reflector' at a glance:
Dieffenbachia seguine 'Reflector' is built around camouflage-like foliage, with large ovate leaves layered in deep green and vivid lime speckling that reads almost luminous at close range. Indoors it can grow to about 1.2 m, with leaves up to roughly 30 cm long on a sturdy upright cane.
Bright indirect light is preferred, though lower light is tolerated with slower growth and softer patterning, and watering should wait until the top 10–15% of the substrate has dried. Moderate to high humidity, temperatures around 18–26 °C, and a rich but free-draining mix help keep roots and foliage in balance.
Monthly feeding supports active growth, while repotting every 1–2 years prevents congestion. Calcium oxalate in the tissues means this cultivar should stay where pets and children cannot chew it.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none, whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
