rot. If the plant has not overgrown its container, it should require watering once a week. If the plant is large, growing in a bright setting with low humidity and air turbulence, water more frequently.
Control Size by Repotting
Or Removing Shoots
As plants grow, it may be necessary to transplant them to a larger container. Use a peat-based potting mix available from your local garden center for ill around the plant as it is transplanted. The transplant can be set slightly deeper (an inch or so) in the new pot than it was in the original container since'dieffenbachia will tolerate more moisture than most folia/ plants. This will help insure adequate anchorage of the plants, which often have heavy tops.
If you don’t want to repot to a larger container, make the plant smaller by removing the dominant center shoots near the base. That will reduce the height of the plant and provide room for secondary shoots.
Recently-purchased dieffenbachia usually have enough nutrients in the potting mix to sustain them for a month or more. After that, it is suggested that a 3-1-2 or 1-1-1 fertilizer be applied, one level teaspoon per quart of water every one to three months. More frequent fertilization is suggested for plants in bright locations. Water the plant thoroughly with the fertilizer solution during each
