How to grow Dieffenbachia

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: Dieffenbachia likes warm soil. When cultivating it, you must not use hard clay and alkaline soil. It is best to use sandy soil with leaf mold.

2. Light: It needs an appropriate amount of natural light, but does not like strong light, so it needs to be shaded appropriately at noon, and no treatment is required at other times.

3. Watering: Its root system is fleshy and is most afraid of waterlogging, so do not water it too much to avoid water accumulation in the pot. Water it frequently and water it as soon as the soil in the pot is dry.

4. Fertilization: About twice a month is enough. Apply thin fertilizer because the root system of the evergreen is fragile and sensitive, so do not use concentrated fertilizer.

2. Breeding Methods

It can be propagated by cuttings. First, cut about ten centimeters from the top of the healthy branch as cuttings. After drying, insert the cut into a soil base made of plain sand. During the period, prevent it from being exposed to strong sunlight and just water it appropriately. It will take about a month for the plant to take root, and then you can transplant it into the pot.

3. Pest and disease control

The common diseases and pests of evergreen are mainly leaf spot disease, and you only need to spray it with 0.5% to 1% Bordeaux mixture. If the soil is also infected with pests, you need to change the soil. After changing the soil, pay attention to the condition of the evergreen to prevent reinfection.
