Dieffenbachia 'Borealis-minima' care

Dieffenbachia 'Borealis-minima' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a vining spreader within its first year.

Give it medium filtered light; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water little and often, keeping the mix barely moist; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

Keep it at average room humidity; pot it in coco coir with added bark and refresh the top layer each spring. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
