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.
