• The Dieffenbachia 'Reflector', often called the Dumb Cane, is a cultivar of the Dieffenbachia genus, which originates from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it thrives as an understory plant beneath the forest canopy.
  
  The 'Reflector' earns its name from its spectacular leaves. They feature a striking, camouflage-like mosaic of deep, dark green contrasted with splashes of lime green and reflective, iridescent yellow-chartreuse spots. The central midrib is often a glowing yellowish-green, creating an incredible, light-catching effect that is even more impressive in person. Like many plants in the Araceae family, the 'Reflector' contributes to a healthier indoor environment by helping to purify the air.
  
  
• Bright, indirect light is preferred for the best color and variegation. It can tolerate lower light, but the growth will be slower, and the leaf patterns may become less vibrant.
  
  Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It likes consistent moisture but is highly susceptible to root rot, so ensure excellent drainage and never let it sit in standing water.
  
  Use a well-draining, airy potting mix rich in organic matter.
  
  This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
