Dieffenbachia 'Minima-stellata' care

Collectors know Dieffenbachia 'Minima-stellata' for its steady pace; it keeps an upright clump even in imperfect corners.

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. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a free-draining cactus-leaning mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
