Adapts to medium light, but very low light slows growth. Avoid direct midday sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater after the top 2–3 cm of soil has dried. Water thoroughly until excess drains from the holes, then discard the collected water. Check the soil regularly, as a 12 cm pot may dry faster than larger pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHumidity and Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuits moderate household humidity and benefits from somewhat higher humidity. Keep away from cold draughts and direct air-conditioning airflow. Prefers temperatures of 18–27°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSoil and Feeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a light, rich, well-drained potting mix. Apply a balanced houseplant fertiliser at moderate strength every 4–6 weeks during active growth, reducing feeding in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCleaning the Leaves\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to show the leaf colours clearly.

If new leaves lose their variegation or growth slows, check the light before increasing fertiliser. Several yellow leaves combined with constantly wet soil may indicate overwatering or poor drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChildren and Pets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDieffenbachia contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewing the leaves or stems may cause irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth and tongue. Keep away from children, cats and dogs. The sap may irritate skin or eyes, so wear gloves when pruning and wash your hands after handling cut plant parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHedera's Tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not increase watering simply because this is a tropical plant. Air humidity helps, but does not mean the soil should stay constantly wet. Check the soil first; if it is still moist, wait before adding water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Dieffenbachia suitable for a desk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

Check the top 2–3 cm of soil and water when it starts to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are leaves turning yellow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossible causes include overwatering, poor drainage or natural ageing of an older leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould I repot it immediately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Keep it in its nursery pot while growth and drainage are good. Move up just one pot size later when the roots become crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"مستورد من هولندا","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51787387175218,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"JOD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/7960\/3506\/files\/25_317d8ad0-e237-422f-8f52-0917016782da.png?v=1789213831","url":"https:\/\/hederajo.com\/en\/products\/dieffenbachia-25cm-pot-12cm","provider":"Hedera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
