One big potted Dieffenbachia Maroba
pot: Fiber Clay Pot
Soil Mix: GH Signature Ultra Premium organic and other nutrients.
A lovely variegated Dieffenbachia with glossy, dark green leaves and a bright, vivid mottled yellow centre.
Definitely tropical and luxurious in appearance, this is a larger specimen Dieffenbachia, which works wonders as a statement floor piece.
Light
Dieffenbachia enjoy bright, indirect light but can tolerate light shade. Lower light levels reduce the rate of growth and dull leaf variegation. Direct sunlight will scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Be careful not to overwater however; waterlogged roots can lead to rot or suffocate the plant.
Temperature
The Dumb Cane prefers warm to high 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 for this plant. 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.
Height & Growth Rate
The Dumb Cane is a moderately fast-growing plant which can reach an ultimate height of approximately 1-1.2 metres.
