Description

Dieffenbachia seguine ‘Tropic Marianne’ is a widely cultivated selection recognized for its luminous, two-toned foliage. The large, broadly ovate leaves feature a pale chartreuse to cream central zone sharply contrasted by deep green margins, creating a dramatic, almost hand-painted appearance. This cultivar remains compact and symmetrical compared to older, taller Dieffenbachia forms, making it one of the most stable and enduring selections in the genus.

Botanical Interest

Like other members of Dieffenbachia, ‘Tropic Marianne’ belongs to the Araceae family—relatives of Philodendron and Anthurium—and originates from a lineage of tropical understory plants native to Central and South America. Its striking variegation is the result of a mutation affecting chlorophyll concentration along the midrib and leaf lamina. The pattern is stable across generations of vegetative propagation, which has contributed to its popularity among growers and its frequent use in hybridization programs.

In mature specimens, the plant develops a short, cane-like stem and may produce inflorescences typical of the family: a pale spadix partially enclosed by a greenish-white spathe. These rarely appear indoors but reveal its close relationship to other aroids.

Growing Conditions (Indoors)

  • Light: Prefers bright gentle light to maintain color contrast; too little light can dull the variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun.

  • Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not saturated. Allow the upper inch to dry slightly between waterings.

  • Humidity: Average Bay Area humidity is generally sufficient, though moderate humidity encourages larger leaf size.

  • Temperature: Ideal range is 65–80°F. Protect from temperatures below 60°F.

  • Soil: Use a well-aerated aroid mix with bark, perlite, and organic matter for proper drainage and root health.

Growth Habit

A self-heading variety that typically reaches 2–3 feet in height indoors, forming dense clusters of leaves from a central crown. With age, it can produce short canes, which may be pruned to encourage basal regrowth.

Pet Safety

Not pet safe. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation if ingested.

Notes

‘Tropic Marianne’ represents a milestone in modern Dieffenbachia breeding—valued for its compact form, uniform variegation, and resilience in interior conditions. It remains one of the most recognizable cultivars in horticulture, bridging ornamental appeal with botanical interest.

Love This Moisturizer!
I have been using Simple products for as long as I can remember. I love Simple products because they work really well for my dry sensitive skin. I've always used their Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, but I was developing some dry patches on my face that would not go away and I was looking for something more to help with that. When I saw that Simple had come out with the Water Boost Hydrating Gel Cream Face Moisturizer and saw that it was made for dry dehydrated skin I bought it right away. A few minutes after I applied it to my face I could really notice a difference! My skin felt soft and smooth, especially where the dry patches were, and it even looked better too! I've been using it now for about a week and a half and my dry patches have gone away! The only downfall is that it comes in a small tube. I wish they would come out with a bigger size, but other than that I absolutely love this moisturizer and would recommend it to anyone with dry/dehydrated/sensitive skin! I also use this product along with the Simple Water Boost Micellar Face wash, and at night I use the Simple Water Boost Skin Quench Sleeping Cream.

LOVED IT!
LOVED IT! I’ve been using the Simple brand makeup wipes removers and they’re THE BEST I have tried especially since I have extremely sensitive skin. Even though this moisturizer is a bit(but just a tiny bit) greasy, I don’t mind because it’s REALLY moisturizing and it’s perfect for my combination skin. It’s a gel but it’s a bit watery. However, once you put some on your face your skin just drinks it in. You don’t need much of the product because just a small amount of product is needed. My face feels nice afterwards and soft. Bought 2 more for back ups. Also, yes it’s a small tube(which it’s perfect for traveling) but honestly a little bit goes a long way because you don’t need too much product since it’s a watery gel so I think the tube can last quite a bit! I love this brand and will look into trying some of their other products in the near future.

Does the job for less $
I bought this moisturizer when a move to California left my face looking its age for the first time in my life. The Arnica-infused Olive Oil I've been using for years was protecting my skin as a barrier, but not adding any hydration, and the drier climate forced a change. I was looking for something without synthetic fragrance, heavy oils, or a high price tag. Simple's Hydrating Gel Cream fit the bill, and I was curious about how a gel might feel. After a week of use I have noticed a few small spots which don't stay long, but my décolletage did produce some worrying pimples. I'm not ready to throw it out yet, because there are other factors to eliminate before passing judgement. My face is perceptively brighter and the skin under my eyes (main problem area) is improving. A little goes a long ways - so no need to fret over a mere 1.7oz. The gel does take a few moments to absorb, and I generally give it a few more minutes to sink in before I am able to apply a mineral sunscreen in the morning without "pilling." Also, I get a subtlely warm sensation on my face after having exfoliated - but there is no accompanying redness or lasting irritation - probably some of the fillers having a mild reaction on the surface. So far I'm willing to continue using this product because I think it's a good value for the price. Not sure I'd stick with it if I found something better though.

The best product i have EVER used!!!!!!
This is honestly the best product i have EVER used. I’ve been using it for 2-3 years. I have super sensitive skin and for some reason my skin gets SUPER dehydrated. I have tried many products but nothing has worked as well as this. I swear by this hydrating moisturizer/gel and i recommend it to any and everyone. I do the upwards and outward motions like suggested and it instantly absorbs. It never feels sticky which is a HUGE plus. A little bit definitely goes a long way. I use it on my face, neck and other areas of my body that seems to feel dehydrated (elbows, knees and back of hands). I have heard from multiple people that my face has never looked more hydrated than it does right now. My favorite part is every time i apply it it always feel cool temperature wise. It leaves a cool and clean feeling like i have put a cool compress on my face. I would recommend this product 100x over and over.

Best cream ever!
I really love this “Simple” gel cream I hope they never stop making it. I have oily skin and other creams seem to just Irritate my skin or just feel thick and heavy like it’s blocking my pores. Not this cream. It feels light weight and yet moisturizing. It has no scent. I use it all over my face and my neck. I have bought department store moisturizers and yet I keep coming back to this Simple hydrating gel cream it never fails me. The only problem is I discovered I can’t find it in any of the stores anymore in my area, I don’t know why but I never thought to look for it here on Amazon. So now I’m a faithful purchaser of this product here on Amazon I love it so much I just hope the company still will continue to make it and that Amazon will continue to sell it.
