Dieffenbachia Maculata – Plant
- Being from the aroid family – with cousins like the Aglaonema, Spathiphyllum and Philodendron – let’s us know dieffenbachia likes humidity and during the summer lots of water. Soil stays moist but not wet. During the winter season watering should be reduced.
- During the primary growing season – March Through October – feed every other week when watering using a complete liquid food. During the winter months use NO fertilizer and water only.
Soil, Potting and Transplanting
- Dieffenbachia prefers a well draining soil. I’ve had excellent results using 2 parts peatmoss and 1 part perlite. An African violet soil mix would work well also.
- A large plant like “Tropic Snow” capable of reaching 4-5 feet can be grown and live in a relatively small pot. The problem is usually not pot size but plant size making the plant top heavy.
- For top heavy plants use a cachepot to stabalize the top heavy plant
- When potting or repotting plants, springtime is best just before the growing season begins. Do not overpot!
