About
Crocodile is a Dieffenbachia seguine cultivar named for the rough, raised, reptilian texture of its leaf surface — a much bumpier, more tactile blade than the smooth, glossy foliage typical of most Dieffenbachia cultivars. It shares the same cane-forming, upright growth habit and easygoing care needs as the rest of the seguine family, distinguished mainly by this distinctive leaf texture rather than colour patterning.
