Ideal for low-light environments such as offices, Dieffenbachia 'Cheetah' offers an exceptional choice with modest upkeep. Its striking large leaves showcase a mesmerising blend of deep green and creamy white variegation, creating a dynamic visual contrast that captures attention. Each leaf forms an intricate living masterpiece, and as the plant matures, it develops into a lush, bushy specimen, filling the surroundings with jungle splendour. Best grown out of direct light to develop the strongest possible variegation.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.


  • Home care:
    Keep well watered during the growing season (less so in winter) and mist regularly with water to maintain humidity. If the leaves start to get dusty, they can be washed occasionally - either by using a damp cloth or popping it under the shower. Avoid draughts, maintain temperatures above 15°C in winter and repot in spring.
    • Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten; skin/eye irritant
