Hi everyone,

Could any one tell me the differences between the following plants?

Dieffenbachia bowmannii
Dieffenbachia seguine
Dieffenbachia amoena

Years ago I had one that looked very similar to these.
The leaves were huge, approx. 10 inches long by 6 inches wide.
The stem was very thick, maybe 6 inches in diameter.

Over time the lower leaves would drop off and I'd simply chop a few feet off the stem and stick it back into the dirt and it would keep going without any ill effects.

Do the varieties above have different characteristics besides leaf patterns?
Are they all the same size? Do some grow taller than others? Are some more bushy vs. lanky?


I'd really like to obtain another one of these, but it looks like it will require some effort.
I'd like to know the differences so I can decide which variety to go after.

Thanks for your help!
