Does anybody grow this?
My latest indulgence. I think I'm kinda attracted to the leaf coloration. Couldn't recall what's the genus name but definetely under aroid family somewhat related with deffenbachia. Some has white leaf lightly speckled with green. Some are in bright pink! Got them for less than RM15 Anybody planted these??? |

Oh those are Dieffenbachias. I got cream coloured ones. The pink one is abit too colour splashy for my liking. No offense Andy!

Re: Does anybody grow this?
Nice.. Unfortunately I agree with funkychips too.. the pink is a bit gaudy for my liking.. But there are lots of other dieffenbachias available in plant nurseries.. Be careful though, their sap causes itchiness, so try to avoid skin contact with the sap. there is also another closely related genus of foliage plants called Aglaonema. :D

Re: Does anybody grow this?
paphioboy,
Is this the plant where the sap has calcium oxilate that if consume may caused numbness or temporary paralysis in your mouth? If so better be careful now if any of you ever visits Andy. Better not make him mad... haa, haaa... Just kidding with you Andy!

Re: Does anybody grow this?
Ya paphioboy is right....aglaonema is the name. Somewhat related to dumb cane. I think the sap is poisonous too.
So...David, be careful next time visiting me. I might spike your drink with some sap of dumb cane. No hard feeling. |
