• The common name "Dumb Cane" for Dieffenbachia plants comes from the toxic sap found in the plant's leaves and stems. This sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause a range of symptoms if ingested or if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes. One of the most notable symptoms is temporary loss of speech or "dumbness," hence the name "Dumb Cane."
