Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: easy to care for plants with distinctive foliage.

Light requirements: Dieffenbachia likes indirect sunlight and direct sun will burn the leaves. Can survive in lower light conditions but this will reduce the patterned variegation.

Watering: Water thoroughly and allow topsoil to dry out between waterings. These plant leaves will droop when it's time to water!

Humidity: Can do well in household conditions but will enjoy a misting from time to time.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: Enjoys a feed around once a month in spring and summer and none at all during winter.

Repotting: Check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot, and only go up 1-2 inches in pot size.
