Your Guide to House Plants and Indoor Plant Care...
Our goal is to help you learn more about house plants care, avoid mistakes, introduce new plant varieties and help you enjoy plants indoors and outside more. We'll also share the benefits of indoor plants along the way like their ability to clean the air.
One of the biggest problems homeowners face with house plants is pest. Controlling pest on houseplants can be easy, safe and all natural. Mealy bugs, spider mites and other plant bugs hate all-natural neem oil. We like the fact that it is also used for medicinal purposes. Face it homeowners have few safe choices but we like Neem.
Dieffenbachia hybrid called Tropic Honey
Dieffenbachia Tropic Honey is a product of cross-pollination between Dieffenbachia Victory and Dieffenbachia Tropic Marianne. Unlike other Dieffenbachia plants, Topic Honey is characterized by the unique combination of its large size, excellent branching, and beautiful leaves. The plant is well-branched and has a compact set of leaves, making it appear interestingly large.
The undulating golden yellow leaves of Dieffenbachia Tropic Honey are held close to the primary stem of the plant. A closer look at the leaf color shows a green border which turns yellow green as you go through the centermost portion of the whole leaf blade. This color lightens ever more to green-white as you look at the midrib and appears less visible as you reach the leaf tip. Although the leaves of Tropic Honey are uniform in texture, they appear to be wavy because of the sunken leaf veins. These veins appear sunken in the upper surface protruding from the lower surface.
