Meet Dieffenbachia ‘Camilla’, a striking plant with white-edged leaves, originating from South America and known as the Dumb Cane or Deaf and Dumb plant. Its variegated foliage makes it a standout in any home, thriving best in a bright spot away from mid-day sun. Keep the soil consistently moist for optimal growth. Dieffenbachia is one of the most popular houseplants for its easy care and beautiful appearance. It prefers semi-sunny to shady locations and thrives in bright light, but avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Artificial plant lights can also support its growth. Maintain average room temperatures year-round, as Dieffenbachia is sensitive to cold. Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings—more in summer and less in winter—to avoid overwatering and maintain healthy roots and stems.
Light
Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours
Watering
Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 18°C – 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Fertilizer
Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.
