Dieffenbachia Puerto Rico, also known as Dumb Cane, is a striking tropical plant prized for its large, lush leaves marked with vibrant patterns of green and creamy white. It adds a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor space with its impressive size and dramatic foliage.
Light Needs: Dieffenbachia Puerto Rico thrives in medium to bright indirect light. It should be placed near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where it can receive gentle, indirect light throughout the day. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Dieffenbachia Puerto Rico consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering slightly in the winter, allowing the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings.
Humidity Needs: Dieffenbachia Puerto Rico appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. To increase humidity, mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (make sure the pot is above the water level). A room humidifier can also help maintain optimal humidity levels.
