- Mature size 90 cm–1.5 m

Broad paddle leaves splashed with cream, on a plant that fills a corner faster than most. It is called dumb cane for a reason — the sap is a serious irritant, so it wants placing out of reach of small hands as well as pets.

What actually arrives
A single or double stem in a 6-inch grower pot, 45–65 cm tall.
The first fortnight
Bright indirect light, out of draughts. Wash your hands after pruning; the sap irritates skin and, if tasted, the mouth and throat.
Completes it
Pairs well with
The pieces our growers reach for alongside this one.
Potting Mix
Ready to use. Garden soil in a pot compacts to a brick — this does not.
Before you ask
Questions we get about this one
No, and that is the point — every plant grows differently. What we guarantee is the size, the health and the leaf count described in “What arrives”. If yours falls short of that, tell us and we will make it right.
Send us a photograph within seven days of delivery and we replace the plant. No receipts, no return shipping, no argument. Minor leaf drop and a few creased leaves are normal transit effects and are not damage — the plant will recover within a fortnight.
Not everywhere. Live plants can only travel so far before the journey stops being fair to them, so check your PIN code above for an honest answer. Pots, tools and seeds ship nationwide regardless.
Not immediately. Give it two to four weeks to settle into your light and humidity first — repotting on arrival asks a plant to recover from two shocks at once. When you do repot, go up one pot size, not three.
This one is best kept out of reach. Its sap can irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed. If you share your home with a determined cat, filter the shop by “Pet safe” — there is a good selection that is genuinely non-toxic.

Original price was: ₹899.₹699Current price is: ₹699.
Second one I have bought. The first is still thriving eight months on, which is the only review that really counts.
Healthy enough, but a fair bit smaller than the photographs suggested. It is growing well now.
Genuinely healthy stock — you can tell it was grown properly rather than forced. Roots were white and firm when I repotted.
Very happy with it. Took about two weeks to stop sulking after the journey, which I was warned about, so no complaints.
Shipped Tuesday, arrived Thursday, and looked like it had been carried by hand. Whoever packs these knows what they are doing.

The care card that came in the box was more useful than three hours of reading online.
