DIEFFENBACHIA IS EASY: This low-maintenance houseplant requires little care and looks great for years! Follow these guidelines and you’ll have great success. LIGHT: Grow Dieffenbachia in medium or bright (but not direct) sunlight. If your Dieffenbachia doesn't get enough light, it may stop growing. Move it to a brighter spot to activate growth. WATER: Dieffenbachia likes life on the dry side. It hates overly moist or soggy soil. The frequency of watering will depend on your Dieffenbachia’s pot size, how much light it gets, and the indoor temperature of your home. If the plant’s leaves are droopy, it may not be getting enough water. FEEDING: Fertilize Dieffenbachia a few times a year, in spring and summer, to keep it healthy. Use a general-purpose fertilizer labeled for houseplant use. Follow the directions on the fertilizer packaging for recommendations on how much to use. PRUNING/SHAPING: Dieffenbachia typically doesn't require pruning or shaping to keep its good looks. Remove yellow or faded leaves by clipping them off at the base of the stem. REPOTTING: Repot your Croton when it becomes root bound. A well-draining potting soil mixture for is recommended when repotting. Never repot houseplants using soil from your yard. OUTDOOR OPTIONS: Dieffenbachia can be grown outdoors in a planter or mixed with annuals on a deck or patio for the summer. It makes an ideal focal point for a planter.
