Dieffenbachia seguine 'Reflector'

Dark green leaves, lighter speckling and a pale central vein give Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' its contrast-rich foliage. Broad blades sit on cane-like stems, holding the crown upright above the pot.

Young plants form a close foliage mass. With age, the stems thicken, the leaves gain size, and the crown becomes more prominent above the pot.

Speckled dark Dieffenbachia foliage

• Dark green leaves with lighter green speckling.
• Pale central vein running through each broad blade.
• Upright clumping habit with cane-like stems.
• Broader crown develops as the plant matures.
• Node-bearing stems allow renewal pruning and propagation.

Tropical aroid growth

Dieffenbachia seguine is an accepted Araceae species with a range running from the Caribbean into tropical South America. In indoor pots, warm conditions, filtered light and an aerated substrate keep moisture moving through the root ball instead of sitting around the cane base.

Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' has dark, finely speckled leaves with a pale midrib. Regular wiping removes dust from the broad blades and exposes pests along the midrib, petiole joints and leaf undersides.

Dieffenbachia 'Reflector' care

• Light: Give bright indirect or medium indirect light; hot direct sun can leave tan patches on the broad blades.
• Water: Rewater after the top few centimetres of substrate begin to dry, then drain the pot each time.
• Substrate: Use a chunky mix with fine bark, perlite, coco fibre or houseplant compost, and a small mineral fraction.
• Temperature: Keep at 18–27 °C and protect the roots from draughts or cold floors.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity reduces dry edging on broad leaves during warm growth.
• Leaf care: Wipe the leaves with a damp soft cloth while holding each blade from underneath.
• Feeding: Feed modestly during warm-season leaf production and rinse the substrate with plain water if salts collect.
• Stem renewal: Remove old lower leaves at the petiole base; tall canes can be cut and rooted as node sections.

Reflector leaf checks

• Tan dry patches: Direct sun or reflective heat may be reaching the blades; shift the plant into filtered light.
• Sparse, leaning growth: Increase filtered light and turn the pot so the crown develops evenly.
• Stem base softness: Check drainage, root firmness and moisture deep in the lower mix.
• Crisp brown margins: Review watering gaps, warm dry air, salt build-up, and cold contact near the leaves.
• Sticky residue or fine webbing: Inspect leaf undersides, the pale midrib, and petiole joints for scale, mealybugs, or spider mites.

Reflector pruning safety

Cut Dieffenbachia tissue can affect the mouth or throat and may irritate skin or eyes. During pruning, repotting and leaf removal, use gloves and rinse skin after contact with fresh cuts.
