Dieffenbachia Sterling, also known as Dumb Cane, is a popular houseplant cherished for its striking foliage. Featuring large, broad leaves splashed with shades of green, cream, and sometimes hints of yellow, it adds a tropical touch to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Dieffenbachia Sterling thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly.
Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer), but allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter months, letting the soil dry out a bit more between waterings.
Humidity Needs: Moderate humidity levels are ideal for Dieffenbachia Sterling. It can tolerate average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting or placement near a humidifier, especially in drier climates or during winter when indoor air tends to be drier.
