Dieffenbachia 'Green Magic' - Dieffenbachia with dark green leaves and a cream-colored vein
Dieffenbachia 'Green Magic' is an elegant tropical houseplant, prized for its large, elongated leaves in a deep, dark green, crossed by a very prominent cream-white midrib. Unlike strongly variegated Dieffenbachia varieties, 'Green Magic' stands out for the simple, refined contrast between its green foliage and bright midrib.
It has an upright, lush habit, making it suitable for living rooms, offices, reception areas, or other bright spaces where an elegant, easy-to-place tropical plant is desired.

📌 Note: The shape and size of the leaves, as well as the intensity of the contrast between the central vein and the rest of the leaf, may naturally vary from one specimen to another. The leaves may have small spots, scratches, bends, dry edges, or other cosmetic imperfections caused by growth, handling, transport, or adjustment to new environmental conditions. These aspects do not normally affect the plant's viability.
Older leaves may turn yellow and naturally be shed as the plant produces new foliage.
