Description
Light
It thrives best in the bright filtered light. Keep the plant away from direct sunlight, because direct sun burns the leaves and too much bright light causes the vibrant leaf color to fade.
Watering
Water your plant regularly during the growing season and always keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. You can allow the topsoil to become slightly dry between each watering. During the winter months, reduce watering.
Temperature
Dieffenbachia prefers an ideal temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit – 85 degrees Fahrenheit / 18 degrees Celsius – 29 degrees Celsius. Cannot tolerate temperatures below about 10°C (50°F).
Humidity
Dieffenbachia Summer appreciates higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help create a favourable microclimate.
Feed
Fertilize every two weeks in the summer and once a month in the spring and fall with a liquid fertilizer. Don’t fertilize during the winter months when the plant’s growth rate is slowed.
Height & Growth Rate
Dieffenbachia summer can reach 5 ft or more in height, but under normal room conditions, its leaves will fall to give a false palm effect.
Toxicity
This plant is considered toxic to humans and pets. Keep away from children and animals and take care when handling.
Origin
Dieffenbachia summer is native to the tropical forests of North and South America.
