Dieffenbachia's Growth Habits

Dieffenbachia is a plant native to Brazil in South America, and it naturally prefers a warm, humid, semi-shaded, semi-light growing environment.

But Dieffenbachia is very intolerant of cold and afraid of drought, and most of all it dreads strong direct sunlight, which can make the plant dry up and the leaves turn yellow, so pay attention to lighting.

Dieffenbachia has no special requirements for soil; as long as the soil drains well, it is fine.
