One is mine that I got from Wal-Mart and is marked as Diffenbachia, the other is my step-Mom's that she got in a dish garden. I'm not familiar with Dumb Cane at all so I'm not sure if this is what they look like as babies or not. Most of the pics I find, even of the babies, seem to have longer stems that ours do.
Thanks for any help,
Heather
Bigger pic of mine. If these are Dumb Cane, anyone have any ideas on the cultivars?
Here's my step-Mom's plant. It's the same as mine, just different variegation.
You betcha they are Dumb Canes! Your first pic looks like 'Compacta' and the 2nd pic is surely 'Camille'. I too grow Dieffenbachias and absolutely love the big dramatic foliage!
Thanks so much for the confirmation! I'm looking forward to growing this plant, I had no idea it would become so large or lovely.
I told my DH the reason behind the name Dumb Cane and he immediately came up with a plan to take some to work, telling all his co-workers what a delicious plant it was! If I didn't know he was kidding I'd be worried.
