Product Details
Dieffenbachia Camila (also spelled Camille or Compact Dumb Cane Camila), is a stunning, compact cultivar of the classic Dumb Cane houseplant. This tropical beauty features broad, oval-shaped leaves with a creamy white to pale yellow center dramatically framed by rich dark green edges—creating a bold, high-contrast marbled pattern that pops in any indoor setting. Native to the rain forests of Central and South America, it grows upright and bushy, typically reaching 2-4 feet tall indoors (more compact than standard varieties), making it perfect for tabletops, desks, corners, offices, or as a lush accent in living rooms.
Plant lovers adore Dieffenbachia 'Camila' for its striking, tropical foliage that adds instant elegance and color contrast, its super easy, forgiving care (ideal for beginners and busy plant parents), excellent air-purifying qualities (filters out toxins like formaldehyde and benzene), and resilient nature—it rebounds quickly from minor neglect and thrives in average home conditions. It's a low-fuss showstopper that brings jungle vibes and vibrant energy year-round without demanding constant attention!
Caring Tips for Your Dieffenbachia Camila
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal (east- or west-facing window with sheer curtain); tolerates medium to lower light but variegation may fade or growth slow. Avoid direct sun to prevent scorched leaves.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—water when the top 1-2 inches feel dry (every 7-10 days, adjust based on light/AC). Let it dry slightly between watering; over watering causes yellowing/root rot, while under watering leads to drooping.
Humidity & Temperature: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+); mist occasionally, use a pebble tray, or place in a humid spot like a bathroom—great for dry indoor air. Thrives at 18-24°C.
Soil & Feeding: Well-draining, peat-based or rich potting mix (add perlite for aeration). Fertilize every 4-6 weeks spring-summer with diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer (half-strength); skip in winter.
Pruning & Maintenance: Prune leggy stems or yellow leaves at the base to promote bushiness. Rotate for even growth. Watch for pests like spider mites/mealybugs (treat with neem/soap). Repot every 2-3 years if root bound. Important: Sap is toxic if ingested (causes swelling/irritation)—keep away from pets/children; wear gloves when handling.
Extra Tip: Brown leaf tips often signal low humidity, fluoride in tap water (use filtered), or over-fertilizing—adjust accordingly for lush results.
A vibrant, effortless tropical gem that purifies your air and brightens any space—perfect for effortless indoor jungle style!
