Dieffenbachia Camouflage is an eye-catching plant with uniquely patterned foliage on large, lush leaves. While relatively easy to care for, it does prefer bright environments though can burn if placed directly in a bright southern facing window. This is a very pest resistant plant and makes a great visual statement.
For the best results, keep the plant's top inch of soil moist at all times. It will tolerate extended periods of watering neglect, but the leaves will begin to shrivel. Watering makes the leaves stiffen. Before moving the plant, allow the soil to dry out. This will give the leaves a more rubbery texture which will better survive the handling process.
To encourage your plant to grow faster, you may introduce a full strength mixture of standard, balanced fertilizer once a month. Over-fertilization will cause the plant to start dropping leaves.
This plant propagates best from new growth cuttings or from breaking away young stems that grow on the side of the plant. Place these sideways in moist sand until roots begin to show, then transfer upright to soil.
They typically shed leaves immediately after being transplanted, but will sprout new growth at a rapid rate, so any yellowing leaves can be pruned away worry-free. Dieffenbachia Camouflage is an eye-catching plant with uniquely patterned foliage on large, lush leaves.
