Dieffenbachia ‘White Etna’ – The Frosted Drama Queen of the Indoor Jungle
Meet the Dieffenbachia ‘White Etna’, a bold and beautifully variegated statement plant that looks like it’s been dusted in frost and dipped in cream. With its large, lance-shaped leaves splashed in silvery white and soft green, this plant doesn’t just sit quietly in the corner—it owns the space.
Perfect for brightening shadier spots, it thrives in indirect light, and its low-maintenance nature makes it ideal for anyone who wants jungle vibes without the emotional labour. It grows upright, filling out beautifully like a lush leafy fountain, and yes—it’s photogenic from every angle.
But be warned: it’s nicknamed Dumb Cane for a reason—the sap can be an irritant, so keep it away from pets and curious toddlers who fancy a nibble.
This is the kind of plant that makes guests go, “Whoa, what’s that one?” And that’s exactly the energy we’re here for.
Perfect for: Beginners, collectors, lovers of bold foliage, and homes that need a touch of frosty elegance.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Dieffenbachia:
- Potting Soil (40%)

Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
