Dieffenbachia 'Duskwell-silvergleam' care

Dieffenbachia 'Duskwell-silvergleam' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a compact rosette within its first year.

Give it morning sun with afternoon shade; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water when the leaves just begin to soften. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for average room humidity and use rich, moisture-retentive mix — roots here want air as much as water. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
