Dieffenbachia ‘Reflector’ is a cultivar prized for its dense foliage that has a slightly iridescent sheen, giving it a vibrant look under natural light. Named after Ernst Dieffenbach, a German botanist, this plant became popular in Victorian parlors and remains beloved today. Its reputation for bold leaves and low-maintenance needs make it a favorite for busy plant parents!

This flashy Dieffenbachia variety is known for its adaptability and can thrive even in lower light settings, making it an ideal plant for dim corners. It has a fascinating history as a “poisonous beauty,” used in folklore for its “voiceless” properties.

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.
