Dieffenbachia 'Memoria Corsii', is a striking new variety of Dieffenbachia with green-grey leaves with a unique pattern of green and white or yellow.
Native to
Dieffenbachia species are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, thriving in warm, humid environments.
Water
Maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top layer to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the potting medium is well-draining. During the growing season, regular watering is essential, while in winter, reduce frequency to prevent waterlogged soil.
Light
Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf scorching, while too little light may result in leggy growth and reduced foliage vibrancy. An east-facing window or placement a few feet away from a south or west-facing window with filtered light is ideal.
Humidity
Thrives in environments with moderate to high humidity levels. Regular misting or using a humidifier can help maintain adequate humidity, especially during dry periods or in centrally heated homes.
Temperature
Favors warm indoor temperatures, typically between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C, as cold drafts can hinder growth and cause leaf damage.
Caution
All parts of Dieffenbachia plants contain calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and wear gloves when handling or pruning the plant.
