Key Features:

Air-Purifying: The Dieffenbachia ‘Camilla’ helps cleanse the air by filtering out harmful toxins, improving indoor air quality and creating a fresher, healthier space.
Easy to Care For: This plant is incredibly low-maintenance and forgiving, making it a great choice for beginners. It thrives in indirect light and only needs occasional watering, making it a stress-free addition to your home.
Adaptable to Various Light Conditions: While it prefers bright, indirect light, the Dieffenbachia ‘Camilla’ can also tolerate lower light environments, making it versatile for placement in different parts of your home or office.
Resilient and Hardy: Known for its durability, this plant can withstand less-than-perfect conditions, including occasional missed watering, making it a reliable and long-lasting houseplant.

Care Guide:

Light: The Dieffenbachia ‘Camilla’ does best in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
Watering: Water when the top 3-4cm of soil feel dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent overwatering and root rot. During winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down.
Humidity: This tropical plant enjoys higher humidity levels, but it can tolerate average household humidity. Misting the leaves occasionally can help keep them vibrant and healthy.
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid cold draughts or sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
Fertilisation: Feed your Dieffenbachia ‘Camilla’ with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth.

Common Issues:

Yellowing Leaves: This may be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering’s.
Brown Leaf Edges: Often caused by low humidity or dry air. Increase humidity by misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray.
Pests: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or aphids. If detected, treat the plant with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

How often should I water my Dieffenbachia Camilla?: Water the plant when the top 3-4cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down.
Can the Dieffenbachia Camilla thrive in low light conditions?: Yes, while it prefers bright, indirect light, it can adapt well to low light conditions. Just avoid placing it in completely shaded areas to maintain its vibrant foliage.
What should I do if the leaves of my plant start turning yellow?: Yellowing leaves can be a sign of overwatering. Ensure good drainage and let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to prevent this issue.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!
