4" Pot Dieffenbachia Reflector

Product Description

NOTE: The cells of this popular, shade-tolerant houseplant contain needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals called raphides. If a dieffenbachia leaf is chewed, these crystals can cause a temporary burning sensation to the mouth and throat, and it is known that mammals who eat this plant can suffer painful oedema. Do not use this plant with herbivores or omnivores. Use with snakes or carnivore lizards only.
