Common Names: Dieffenbachia Tropic Marianne,  Tropic Marianne Dumb Cane

Scientific Name:  Dieffenbachia seguine 'Tropic Marianne'

A diffenbachia with brighter coloration than most other varieties, which can take up a significant  portion of the relatively large leaves.

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small tropical frogs, along with other small-sized, and some moderate-sized, amphibians and reptiles from tropical and temperate climates.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: Moderate to deep with proper drainage.

Lighting: Low to medium indirect light.  Direct light or placement under a heat or basking lamp may cause leaves to bleach or burn.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100%, can tolerate 20%-40%, but higher levels are suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: This bushy dieffenbachia has wide leaves and is great for some of your heavier animals. These plants grow via stalks and can get rather tall if not pruned. They have a thick tuberous root structure that allows for sturdy anchorage.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown.  Best used as a background (tall) or corner placement.   

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Dieffenbachias are members of the family Araceae, so they contain levels of oxalic acid and sharp calcium oxalate crystals known as raphides. Ingestion is not recommended and may cause oral irritation.  However, these plants are meant to be used for ornamental, not edible, purposes and reptiles and amphibians rarely ingest them.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted dieffenbachia plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
