Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Dieffenbachia maculata 'Tropical Tiki' is a striking indoor plant known for its lush, variegated foliage. The large, lance-shaped leaves display a blend of green, grey, and white hues, creating a marbled effect that adds visual interest to any indoor space. This cultivar thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate lower light conditions, making it suitable for various indoor environments. With a height of 1.2 M and a width of 50 cm, it fits well in pots or as a floor plant in homes and offices.

To care for 'Tropical Tiki', plant it in a well-draining potting mix rich in peat and perlite. Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. Maintain indoor temperatures between 18°C and 27°C, and provide moderate humidity levels. Regularly wipe the leaves to keep them dust-free and vibrant. This plant is best grown indoors in Perth's climate, especially during the cooler months of Winter (Makuru) and Spring (Djilba), as it prefers stable indoor conditions year-round.
