Dieffenbachia is a popular, easy-going houseplant with attractive foliage. Just keep it away from pets and children.

For this reason, it’s not recommended to grow this plant if you have curious kids or pets who like to nibble. Dieffenbachia prefers bright light, but it will tolerate moderate to low light levels.
