Dieffenbachia Tropic

Plant Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but may lose some of its vibrant variegation in shadier spots.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and avoid letting it dry out completely.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place on a humidity tray if the air is dry.
• Soil: Well-draining, rich potting mix. A general houseplant mix with added perlite works well.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer).
• Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. Trim to control its shape.
• Pests: Can attract mealybugs, aphids, or spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep out of reach of animals.
