Description
Dieffenbachia Summer Style
 
Habit
Upright, bushy growth habit with large leaves produced along thick, cane-like stems.
 
Growth Rate
Moderate to fast under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Best suited to a bright tabletop or plant stand while young. Mature plants can become large enough for floor placement.
 
Leaf Size
Large foliage that becomes broader and more impressive as the plant matures.
 
Light
Medium to bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch or bleach the foliage.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry well before watering again. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Moderate feeder during active growth. Regular feeding supports larger leaves and stronger growth. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can help keep the large leaves looking their best.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering, cold conditions and harsh direct sun. Older lower leaves may naturally yellow and drop as the plant grows taller.
 
Pet Safe
No. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and can cause significant irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
“Dieffenbachias are easy, fast-growing foliage plants when they have warmth and good light. Let the soil dry properly between waterings and keep the big leaves clean so the plant can make the most of the light it gets.”
