About This Botanical
Dieffenbachia 'Panther'
How to care for Dieffenbachia Panther
- Light: bright or medium indirect light. Avoid long periods of harsh direct sun, which scorches the leaves.
- Water: let the soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the most common problem, so empty the saucer and never let the pot sit in water.
- Humidity and temperature: moderate to high humidity is best, but average home humidity works. Keep it above 50°F and away from cold drafts.
- Feeding: feed lightly. Too much fertilizer burns the leaf edges.
