Dieffenbachia Se Reeva

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light but may lose some of its vibrant variegation in dimmer conditions.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves or use a humidifier if the air is dry, especially in winter.
• Soil: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix. A general houseplant mix with added perlite or sand works well for good drainage.
• Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.
• Pruning: Trim dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. You can prune leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
• Pests: Can attract aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep away from cats and dogs.
