Dieffenbachia spp.

Family: Araceae
Genus: Dieffenbachia


Description

Dieffenbachia varieties are not suitable for aquarium culture and should not be offered as such. When planted submerged, they will eventually die and rot. However, Dieffenbachia species are robust plants that thrive in low-light conditions and can be kept in normal potting soil or hydroponic cultivation outside of an aquarium setting.
