Why It Works in Dubai
Dieffenbachia Maria is perfectly suited to indoor life in Dubai. It thrives in the consistent temperatures of air-conditioned homes and tolerates lower light levels common in apartment living. Its tropical origins mean it actually enjoys the warmth, and a light misting once or twice a week keeps it looking its best through the drier months.
