Dumb cane is a common potted plant in Malaysia. It has a thick, green stems and is less than a meter high.The leaves are oblong, 25 to 30 cm long and spotted with white and light green.This plant originates from central and south America. Several species are found in Malaysia, growing wild, and as potted plants in homes and gardens.

Salam, Wan..
Alhamdulillah, terima kasih berkongsi maklumat ini.
Memang pokok keladi ni 'popular' di kebanyakan rumah-rumah di Malaysia. Tapi, tak tahu pula tentang daunnya yang beracun tu.
Nampaknya, ibu bapa, penjaga, bibik dan sebagainya pe4rlu dimaklumkan tentang hal ini supaya tidak berlaku apa-apa perkara yang tidak diingini.
Terima kasih sekali lagi :)
