Care & tips for the Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm
The Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm is a compact, full houseplant with beautifully patterned leaves. It likes a warm spot with a steady temperature and no draughts. Try not to move it too often, as it can be sensitive to a change of position. Remove the odd yellowed leaf now and then to keep the plant looking lush and healthy.
How much water does the Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm need?
The Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm likes slightly moist potting soil. Let the top layer dry out a little before watering again. Don't let the roots stay wet for long periods, as the plant is sensitive to that. In winter the soil can dry out a bit further than during the growing season.
How much light does the Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm need?
The Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm likes a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Direct sun can damage the leaves and cause discolouration. In a spot with plenty of daylight the leaf patterns stay at their most beautiful. It will also grow perfectly well in partial shade, though a little more slowly.
Is the Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm toxic?
The Dieffenbachia ‘Compacta’ - 35 cm is mildly toxic if ingested. The sap can also cause mild irritation on contact with the skin, so take care around children and pets.
