Dieffenbachia

Dieffenbachia are tropical foliage plants that are loved for their lush leaves and variety of unique patterning. They are forgiving plants with low-maintenance care requirements making them ideal for new plant parents.

Varieties: Tropic Snow, Camo Panther, Reflector, Camille, Splash

Lighting: These plants enjoy medium to bright, indirect sunlight. The less sun they receive, the slower they will grow. Avoid direct sun which is likely to cause sunburnt foliage.

Irrigation: Allow the soil to slightly dry between thorough irrigations. Water until liquid runs from drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and discard excess water. Do not allow your plant to sit in standing water as it will lead to root rot. Allowing soil to slightly dry permits oxygen to reach the roots.

Humidity: Dieffenbachia do well in average household humidity.

Fertilizer: Once a month during spring and summer using a balanced fertilizer. Follow package recommendations.
