  WATER 
  Water when the top 5cm to 10cm of soil is dry.  They do not like to dry out completely but can be    susceptible to root rot if the soil is left too soggy.
 

  LIGHT  
  Dieffenbachia are a good option for shadier spots as they can do well in medium light                conditions.  During the winter they may need to be closer to a window to get more bright             indirect light. They will not tolerate direct sunlight on their leaves.
 

  FERTILISING  
  Feed once a month with diluted standard houseplant fertiliser.
 

  SOIL  
  Dieffenbachia like a well draining soil mix, this can be achieved by adding perlite and orchid      bark to standard houseplant potting mix.
 

  TEMPERATURE  
  Keep away from open winter windows and cold draughts. If the plant gets too cold you may        lose the lower leaves.
 

  HUMIDITY  
  Dieffenbachia will benefit from higher humidity.  Group together with other plants or place on    a pebble tray.
 

  TOXICITY 
  All parts of this plant are highly toxic to animals and humans, if you have pets that like to      nibble on leaves this is not the plant for you.
