Pro Tip
Wipe the large leaves occasionally to remove dust and help the plant absorb light more efficiently. Avoid frequent repotting—Dieffenbachia prefers to stay slightly root-bound.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but variegation will be most vivid in brighter conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and very low light, which may cause stretching or leaf drop.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Dieffenbachia enjoys lightly moist soil but should never sit in water. Use a well-draining mix and allow water to run through fully. It appreciates stable indoor temperatures and light humidity but adapts to average home conditions well.
-
Growth and Size
This is a fast-growing, upright plant that can reach 2 to 3 feet tall indoors. With time, it may form a thick central stalk with full, leafy growth extending outward. -
Pet-Friendly?
Dieffenbachia is considered toxic if ingested. It’s best to keep it out of reach of pets and children, as its sap can be irritating if touched or consumed. -
Benefits and Air Quality
Dieffenbachia is known to support improved air quality by filtering common indoor toxins. Its broad leaves also help visually soften sharp edges in home or office environments. -
Difficulty level
Moderate – Easy to care for with a consistent watering routine, but sensitive to overwatering and cold drafts.
