A new and distinct Dieffenbachia plant, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the attractive silvery-grey foliage, highlighted by distinct small irregular white patches scattered across the leaf surface, a bright white leaf midrib that sets off the variegated areas within the leaf blade, and a dark green leaf margin that encases the entire variegated area.
