Potted Dieffenbachia Maroba – Dumb Cane
Pot-Fibre clay rancho
Soil Mix: GH Signature Ultra Premium organic and other nutrients.
A large leafy winner in the Dieffenbachia family, this dumb cane is alive with colour. Big broad waxy leaves are electrified with bright white and yellow striping, giving this proud plant a point of difference from its cousins.
The diffused variegation on its long arching leaves is framed in a lush green veining and perimeter, making the plant look almost ornamental, ideal for exotic displays in bright spaces.
Light
Dieffenbachia enjoy bright, indirect light but can tolerate light shade. Lower light levels reduce the rate of growth and dull the leaf variegation. Direct sunlight will scorch the leaves.
Watering
The soil should be lightly moist at all times, but not soggy. Water when the top of the soil starts to dry out.
Temperature
Prefers warm to higher temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C but can cope with as low as 10°C for short periods. Avoid draughts.
Humidity
Normal to increased humidity levels work best. Dieffenbachia will relish the occasional misting and the use of a pebble tray.
Feed
Apply a weak dose of a fertiliser about once a month during the growing season.
