The Dieffenbachia features bold, colorful leave and adds life to a brightly lit room at home, a lightly shaded porch, or in the office. It grows best near a sunny window. Water when the top couple inches of the soil are dry (about once a week) and be sure all excess water drains away. If the container does not have holes, use approximately 1 cup of water, adjust as needed for your environment. Do not let it sit in water or overly soggy soil. The height at shipping is approximately 14 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant. The Dieffenbachia ships in a 6-inch diameter pot. The Dieffenbachia is a moderate grower depending on its environment and is hardy in USDA Zone 11. When the plant out grows the current container, it is time to repot. To repot the Dieffenbachia, gently remove it from its current container and place it into a slightly larger container. Plants are living things; each one is slightly different, so the plant you receive may vary from the photo. Costa Farms plants are not intended for human or animal consumption.
