Caring for Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane)
Light:
Bright, indirect light keeps variegation vibrant. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves.
Water:
Keep soil slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
Humidity & Temperature:
Enjoys medium to high humidity. Perfect for bathrooms or near a humidifier. Ideal temps: 65–85°F.
Soil & Repotting:
Use rich, well-draining soil. Repot annually in spring for fresh nutrients.
Fertilizer:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during growing months.
Care Tip:
Rotate regularly for even growth and handle with care — sap can be irritating to skin and pets.
