Cultivation method of large-leafed Dieffenbachia

The large-leafed Dieffenbachia prefers a semi-shady environment with high temperature and high humidity. It is not resistant to direct sunlight and is not cold-resistant. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam.

Soil: The large-leafed dieffenbachia has a strong adaptability to soil and has a certain ability to withstand barrenness, but it is best to provide loose and fertile soil so that it can grow better and its flowers will be more beautiful. You can mix loam, leaf mold and sandy soil, which can not only ensure the nutrition of the soil, but also increase the oxygen of the roots.

Light: The large-leafed Dieffenbachia prefers a semi-shady environment, and is especially afraid of direct sunlight in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to provide shade and strengthen ventilation in this season. During indoor maintenance, the shade should be more than 60% in spring, summer and autumn, and 40% in winter.

Watering method

The large-leafed dieffenbachia likes a humid environment, and the moisture content of the soil needs to be maintained during maintenance. However, excessive watering will cause water accumulation and lead to root rot. Therefore, when watering, you must observe the dryness and wetness of the soil. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering in small amounts multiple times to keep the soil slightly moist.

Fertilization method

During the growing season of the large-leafed Wannian, you can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once every 20 days, which is beneficial to the growth and flowering of the plant. The growth is more vigorous in early summer, and liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 10 days, which can make the leaves dark green and shiny.
