Dieffenbachia Plant

Dieffenbachia has been grown as a house plant for hundreds of years. It's low-maintenance with striking variegated foliage, making it the perfect office plant.  It is best to keep these plants out of reach of kids and pets, or better yet, bring it to your office. It will provide a pop of color and can easily fill an empty corner.

Light

Dieffenbachia can handle lower lighting conditions, but medium to bright, indirect light is best. If in a darker location, like a windowless office, consider a grow bulb. This will provide adequate light for your Dieffenbachia to thrive.

Water

While relatively easy to care for, Dieffenbachias are a bit picky on their watering needs. Unlike most plants, do not soak your Dieffenbahcia. You want to provide light waterings regularly.

Water your plant, and then allow to dry out before watering again. They are highly sensitive to standing water, so be sure to empty any water accumulation below the plant after each watering.

Fertilizer

Feed your Dieffenbachia Plant with a half-strength fertilizer monthly, Spring through Summer. Do not fertilize during the Fall and Winter.
