Abstract
Abstract Dieffenbachia species and cultivars have been important ornamental tropical foliage plants for many years. Their attractive foliar variegation, ease of production, and adaptability to interior environments are major reasons for their importance as commercial foliage plants. About 20 cultivars have been produced commercially in Florida. Most new cultivars were obtained from private plant collections or as mutations of established cultivars. Because dieffenbachias occur naturally in a diversity of sizes, growth habits, and variegation patterns, they were included as part of the foliage plant breeding program at the Central Florida Research and Education Center—Apopka. The hybrid Dieffenbachia × ‘Victory’, herein described, was developed and selected as a part of the program.
