Plant Care

Watering

Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.

Light

Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

Fertilizer

Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.

Plant Bio

A lovely variegated Dieffenbachia with glossy, dark green leaves and a bright, vivid mottled yellow centre.

Definitely tropical and luxurious in appearance, this is a larger specimen Dieffenbachia, which works wonders as a statement floor piece.

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.

Watering

Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Be careful not to overwater however; waterlogged roots can lead to rot or suffocate the plant.

Temperature

The Dumb Cane prefers warm to high temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C, but can cope with as low as 10°C for short periods. Avoid draughts.

Humidity

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

Feed

Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser about once a month during the growing season.
