Dieffenbachia Maroba

Pot: 21cm Height 75cm

Light: Dieffenbachia enjoy bright, indirect light but can tolerate light shade. Lower light levels reduce the rate of growth and dull leaf variegation. Direct sunlight will scorch the leaves.

Water: Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Do not over water.

Temperature: Prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C but can cope with as low as 10°C for short periods. Avoid droughts.

Humidity: Normal to increased humidity levels work best. Dieffenbachia will relish the occasional misting and the use of a pebble tray.

Feed: Apply a weak dose of a fertilizer about once a month during the growing season.

Care tips: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or pop it in the shower for a while. Cut back by removing the top of the plant if it grows too tall.
