The pot for dieffenbachia should be stable, in size - twice the size of the root system of the flower.
Air and temperature
Dieffenbachia need high humidity. Since the air in the rooms is usually dry, the plant is often sprayed. If the air temperature is above + 20 ° C, then it is better to put the pot on wet gravel.
Once a week, dust accumulating on the leaves should be washed off with a warm shower.
What does dieffenbachia not like
Answer: Dieffenbachia loves fairly humid air, although, regardless of humidity, the lower leaves eventually age and fall off.
Dieffenbachia does not like drafts, dryness, hypothermia and overheating.
Where should dieffenbachia be
For the plant, choose a place where there is a lot of light, but there is no direct sunlight away from heating appliances.
A flower pot can be placed in the center or in the corner near the window in the northeast of the room.
How many times a week should dieffenbachia be watered
As a rule, you need to water 2 times a week.
Over-watering can lead to root rot and yellowing of the lower leaves of the plant.
It is recommended to spray the plant daily or wipe its leaves with a damp sponge.
A regular warm shower also favorably affects the condition. In winter, it is recommended to place away from heating appliances.
