Not pet friendly

 

How often should I water my Dieffenbachia Reflector?
Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically once a week, but this may vary depending on humidity and temperature conditions in your home. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Can the Dieffenbachia Reflector be placed in a room with low light?
Yes, while it prefers bright, indirect light, it can adapt to lower light conditions. However, too little light may slow its growth and reduce the vibrancy of its leaves.
Is the Dieffenbachia Reflector safe for homes with pets?
No, this plant is not pet-friendly as it can be toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after handling the plant to avoid irritation.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ Medium

The Dieffenbachia Reflector thrives in bright, indirect light but is quite adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ Medium

Water your Dumb Cane when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ Average

Dieffenbachia enjoys a typical indoor temperature between 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ Moderate

While it tolerates average home humidity, a boost can help promote lush growth and leaf shine. Consider misting occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby.

🪴 Repotting

Repot your Dieffenbachia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger and use a well-draining potting mix to encourage health and growth.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

Dieffenbachia is not pet-friendly. Its sap contains irritants that can be harmful if ingested by pets or humans. Always wash hands after handling and keep out of reach of pets and children.

🏠 Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Dieffenbachia in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where it can receive adequate light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or very dark corners.
