Dieffenbachia Care Guide

Light:
This plant does better in a low light environment. Dumb Cane (Dieffenbachia) will sunburn if they get any direct sun at all, and the leaves will yellow and curl.

Water:
Check the soil to make sure it is dry an inch down before watering the Dieffenbachia plant. Plant the Dumb Cane in well-draining soil and water lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

Temperature:
The Dieffenbachia plant does well as a houseplant, thriving with year-round room temperatures averaging 65°-75° F. Temperatures below 60° F can harm the plant.
