5" Dieffenbachia Reflector

Dieffenbachia, also known as dumb cane, is a popular houseplant known for its attractive foliage. Here are some simple care tips:

1. Light: Thrives in medium to bright indirect light.

2. Watering: Water weekly during the growing season (spring and summer). In winter, reduce watering to e let soil completely dry out.

3. Humidity: Prefers high humidity but can adapt to normal household humidity levels. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles.

4. Temperature: Average room temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C) are ideal. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture. A mix formulated for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.

6. Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows down.

7. Pruning: Trim yellow or brown leaves to maintain plant health and appearance. Wear gloves when handling, as the sap can be irritating to skin.

8. Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings placed in water or directly in soil. Ensure each cutting has at least one leaf node.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy a healthy and thriving Dieffenbachia plant in your home.
