Dieffenbachia 'Marmorata-opaline' care

Collectors know Dieffenbachia 'Marmorata-opaline' for its steady pace; it keeps a vining spreader even in imperfect corners.

It does best in bright indirect light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. 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. Under good conditions it may flower indoors, though the foliage is the point.
