Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Dieffenbachia thrives best in bright, indirect light.
  It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the leaf patterns may become less vibrant and growth may slow.
  Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
  
• Watering💧
  Allow the top 3-5cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
  Keep the soil consistently moist but never allow it to become waterlogged. Dieffenbachia is prone to root rot if overwatered.
  Reduce watering frequency significantly during the colder months when the plant's growth slows.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Dieffenbachia, being a tropical plant, appreciates moderate to high humidity levels.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Dieffenbachia thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed monthly during the spring and summer (March to September) with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce or stop feeding in winter.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 2-3 years, or when root bound, in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Remove leggy branches and pinch tips to promote denser foliage.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves with clean tools to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthier growth.
