The sap in the leaves and stems of Dieffenbachia is poisonous. Contact with the skin may cause itching and allergy, and contact with the eyes may cause temporary blindness. If accidentally ingested, it can cause symptoms such as vomiting and dizziness. However, it does not emit toxic gases, so as long as you avoid contact with the juice, you will not be poisoned.

2. Can it be placed indoors?

Dieffenbachia can be grown indoors. Although its sap is poisonous, it is generally not exposed to the elements, so it can be safely kept indoors. Moreover, in addition to its good ornamental value, it can also purify the air and absorb formaldehyde. And as an evergreen plant, it also has auspicious meaning.

3. Notes

Dieffenbachia is more suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. When growing indoors, do not place it on the balcony. It can be placed in the living room, study, etc. In addition, if there are children at home, put it where the children cannot reach it to avoid breaking the leaves and getting them contaminated by juice.
