A tree, decorated with green leaves with yellow spots, is a frequenter of rooms. It has a small size and is very unpretentious for growing. However, this is where its positive qualities end.
The sap of the plant is quite poisonous. It can cause itching, irritation and redness of the skin, poisoning in pets. And it is simply impossible not to contact the plant when pruning the crown, leaving. In the matter of superstition, dieffenbachia is also not safe.
