While the Dieffenbachia genus originates from the lush rainforests of Central and South America, the 'Marianne' cultivar has established itself as a global icon of indoor gardening. For decades, it has remained a top seller, celebrated for its brilliant foliage that brightens interiors and its famously forgiving nature, making it the perfect ambassador for the world of houseplants.
'Marianne' is a proven performer in creating a healthier indoor atmosphere. It is an excellent air-purifying plant, adept at filtering common pollutants from the air. Its broad leaves also release humidity, contributing to a more comfortable environment. Psychologically, its bright center is known to bring a sense of light and positivity to spaces, especially those with limited natural light.
Our premium starter plugs are selected for vigor and are ready to be transformed into stunning, full-sized plants. For optimal results in your commercial growing operation, we recommend the following professional care:
Light: 'Marianne' is a star performer in medium to low indirect light, making it one of the most versatile plants for a wide range of indoor environments. Keep out of direct sun to prevent foliage scorch.
Watering: Prefers to be kept evenly moist. Water thoroughly when the top inch (2-3 cm) of the soil is dry. Its resilient nature allows it to tolerate occasional watering inconsistencies.
Soil: A standard, well-draining, peat-based potting medium is all that is needed for this robust variety, simplifying your production process.
Temperature: It thrives in average room temperatures from 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be protected from cold drafts or frost.
Toxicity: It is crucial to note that all parts of the Dieffenbachia plant are toxic if ingested. Please ensure it is handled accordingly and kept away from children and pets.
