dieffenbachia
This term refers specifically to a genus of tropical plants known for their striking foliage. In a domestic context, it is almost exclusively used to describe the common houseplant variety.
Users should be aware that the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause severe irritation to the skin and mouth, making it a hazardous choice for households with pets or small children.
