Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' / 'Camille'
Cream-centred Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' foliage
Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' / 'Camille' has cream-centred foliage with broad oval leaves, pale yellow-green central panels and deeper green edges.
This Dieffenbachia grows as a leafy crown on upright cane-like stems. The pale centre of each leaf marks early under harsh light, excess fertiliser or uneven moisture, so balanced exposure, measured watering and gentle feeding reduce browning and uneven new leaves.
Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' profile
- Cream-centred Dieffenbachia with broad pale leaf panels
- Broad oval leaves with creamy central panels and dark green edges
- Bushy crown developing from upright cane-like stems
- Pale leaf tissue that shows moisture and fertiliser stress quickly
- Filtered-light Dieffenbachia with pale leaf panels that mark in harsh sun
Camille spelling and cream foliage
Dieffenbachia 'Camille' is a cream-centred Dieffenbachia, and 'Camilla' is a common spelling for plants with the same leaf pattern.
Dieffenbachia seguine and related dumb cane material show the dumb cane traits of wet-tropical ancestry: stout stems, alternate leaves, sheathing petioles and patterned foliage in green, cream, yellow or white tones.
In pots, 'Camilla' forms a leafy crown while young and gradually shows more cane as lower leaves age. Evenly expanded leaves, a firm stem base and a balanced crown show that light, warmth and root moisture are aligned.
Cream-centred Dieffenbachia care
- Light: Use bright indirect light. Soften direct midday sun before it reaches the cream-coloured panels.
- Watering: Water when the upper few centimetres of substrate have dried. Keep the root ball evenly moist while new leaves are forming.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with organic water-holding material and mineral aeration. An open mix keeps moisture moving around the lower leaves and cane base.
- Drainage: Use a pot with drainage holes and clear excess water from outer pots after watering.
- Temperature: Keep around 18–26 °C. Warm conditions keep the crown firmer after transport, repotting or pruning.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity keeps new leaves unfolding with fewer dry edges. Wipe the broad leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and check for pests.
- Feeding: Apply diluted fertiliser while the plant is growing, then flush the substrate occasionally to limit salt build-up.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container. Choose the next pot size up and keep the cane base at the same level.
- Pruning and propagation: Cut away spent leaves with clean tools. Stem tip cuttings and cane sections root best with warmth, humidity and an airy medium.
Camilla leaf-panel checks
- Cream panels turning brown: Check for direct sun, dry root pockets, heat near glass or fertiliser salt build-up.
- Several lower leaves yellowing together: Inspect substrate moisture, pot drainage and cold exposure.
- New leaf unfolding unevenly: Review humidity and watering consistency, then check the leaf sheath for mealybugs or mites.
- Crown loses lift: Check root moisture and temperature. Chilled wet roots and a dry root ball can create a similar wilted look.
- Cottony clusters near petioles: Treat mealybugs early, especially where the leaf bases clasp the cane.
Camilla cutting safety
Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' / 'Camille' has the same irritating sap as other dumb cane plants: cut or chewed tissue contains calcium oxalate raphides that can irritate oral tissue and sensitive skin or eyes. Keep the plant away from pets and children, wear gloves for cutting or propagation and rinse sap from skin promptly.
Camilla family and spelling
Dieffenbachia is an aroid genus in Araceae, named for Joseph Dieffenbach of Vienna's Schönbrunn gardens. Dieffenbachia seguine (Jacq.) Schott is the accepted species behind many cultivated dumb cane selections. The Camilla/Camille spelling refers to the cream-centred indoor plant in this group.
Dieffenbachia 'Camilla' / 'Camille' has cream-centred leaves, green edging and a compact cane habit.

Tried it, it worked!
Format: Paperback
I first have to say I practiced what the author tell us to do, and that semester I got A's on all my classes, and my GPA has improved considerably (I wish I had read this several years ago).
I bought this book at the end of 2011 and decided to put to practice what it says. I was very amazed at my former roommate's 5.0 GPA and scholarship to Stanford once he got his minor in Biology. This guy would just come home, watch movies, go out with his girlfriend, play sports a lot, go dancing, etc. We never saw him cramming or pulling one all-nighter, NOT EVEN ONCE!. The other 2 guys were jealous studying like crazy but with 3.85 GPA. When I asked him about his success he said he wasn't doing anything special, except for staying in school until he finished his homework for the day. It didn't make sense since we saw him at home around 6 pm. "I just divide the work for each assignment unless it is too easy, and I never stay more than 1 or 2 hours doing just one assignment, That helps me usually get over 100% so at the end of the semester I don't have to worry too much about tests and other stuff like that; I don't read the whole thing, EVER! I would never be able to read the 100+ pages required each week, plus memorizing, and then doing an essay, it is ridiculous."
I read a few books about getting A's (I am from Mexico so the grading system is different), but they all said the same: read the whole thing, learn everything to avoid surprises, repeat it but in your own words, make notes in every paragraph, develop mental maps, and so on... This book is different (some of the things are similar but not the same).
Here's the most useful piece of advice I got from it: It is very often more important to know what NOT to study, than what to study. Time is very limited and we shouldn't waste it trying to read all the materials, learn absolutely everything for the tests, etc (especially the night before whatever is due). Your brain will shut off before you can do that, so you're better off knowing what you can and cannot do without burning out.
I also have to say I enjoyed precious nights of deep sleep, and going to the test with a fresh mind (and scent), instead of tired, desperate, stinky, and trying to memorize 5 minutes before the test. This book is a lot about having free time to enjoy (not just getting drunk like some reviewers said) while others are wishing they would have studied earlier. It is a lot about structure and dividing the workload throughout the semester, month, week, day. You need to pay attention since at some point it could get a little tedious, like when he explains how to prepare for an essay. But if you try them they will work; the ultimate goal here is making college less tedious, more enjoyable, and an experience that will enrich your life instead of becoming a very expensive hell. It is also worth mentioning that the author is not giving you something he just though of, but these are common habits among top students attending top universities.
I can also suggest you try the methods in the book and combine them with others such as mnemonics; I memorize whatever information I don't think I'll need in the future, and just pour it on the test, then forget about the rest; I do this ONLY with useless info that won't help me in any other class, and when I know the test will allow it (like multiple choice, short answers, yes/no, etc).
Would definitely recommend it.

Struggling College Students...This is a Great Help!!
Format: Paperback
Picking up the book How to Become a Straight-A Student by Cal Newport I hoped to improve my study skills and eliminate my procrastination.
Cal Newport is a professor at Georgetown University and is the author of five self-improvement books. He is the founder of Study Hacks, which is one of the Web’s most popular student advice blog. Newport uses his own knowledge of being a successful college student and conducted interviews receiving advice from top-scoring undergraduates from some of the “most rigorous colleges and universities – including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, Duke…” (3).
Newport uses humor and an easy to understand conversational style of writing to keep the reader engaged. The book is set up in three parts. Part 1 is titled Study Basics and has 3 steps that it touches on. Part 2 is titled Quizzes and Exams and consists of 6 steps. Part 3 is titled Essays and Papers and has 8 steps. At the end of each part there are “Cheat Sheets” that summarize each part in a bullet style fashion. Two of the three steps spoken about in the book include “The Plan in Action” section. These sections use situational examples to give the reader a more visual explanation of the information the author describes.
One of the most influential topics Newport touched on –I thought— was part one of his book – “Study Basics” (11). He splits this topic up into three steps. My favorite step was step one – “Manage Your Time in Five Minutes a Day” (19). The main idea of this section is to have a record of all your to-dos and deadlines on your calendar. Another thing I liked about the book was that Cal uses real life examples of successful college students to prove his point. He also uses direct quotes from top-rated students at major universities that said things like “Time management is critical – it’s a skill that you absolutely must develop over the course of your time at college” (19).
Looking at the perspective from a student that already manages their time and occasionally gets that one low grade that they cannot for the life of the get up and is looking for helpful tips to fine tune that B to an A— this book is probably not for you. Although I do see the down side to this book to an audience that is already studious and knows how to manage their time, but overall, Newport has a lot of advice to give to student who are in the early stages of learning how to be a good student. A person might give a bad rating because it did not help them. People like me who chose to read this book because they were never really taught how to study, manage their time, or how write a college paper or know tricks in taking exams and tests – this book will help you; for that I am giving this book a 5/5 star.

This book was a game changer for me…
Format: Paperback
I’ve attempted college twice. On my first attempt I ended up with a 1.8 GPA which resulted in academic probation and a fair amount of tears. I took an almost ten year long hiatus thinking college wasn’t for me before trying again. Except this second time I knew I had to do something different, and that’s when I picked up this book. On my second attempt I ended up with a 3.9 GPA upon graduation and also felt I didn’t have to work myself to the bone to get those grades. I found the chapters on note taking and time management to be particularly useful. While it’s true that my success also had to do with some maturity I had gained over ten years, this book gave me the tools and a system that helped me immensely. It not only helped me academically, but taught me how to “work smarter, not harder.” In short, get the book. You won’t regret spending the money on it.
