Dieffenbachia 'Brevifolia-silvergleam' care

Dieffenbachia 'Brevifolia-silvergleam' rewards a patient owner: it grows as a trailing habit and asks mostly to be left alone.

It does best in low to medium light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water when the top third of the mix is dry; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

Aim for average room humidity and use a chunky aroid mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
