How is Dieffenbachia in autumn?

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: It prefers a slightly acidic matrix that is nutritious and well-permeable.

2. Light: It is sensitive to sunlight. It needs proper shading when the sun is at its highest point in summer. If it is not blocked, the leaves may turn yellow and the plant may wither. The suitable temperature for growth is 15℃-18℃. When the temperature drops below 10℃, the indoor temperature must be increased.

3. Watering: It likes a warm and humid growing environment. It is recommended to water it every 1-2 days in summer, and control the water supply appropriately in winter and spray more water mist.

4. Fertilization: Apply liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days during its growth period.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Cuttings: Usually carried out in spring from April to May, cut small plants from the roots of the plants, put them in a cool place to dry, and then dip them in a small amount of wood ash and plant them in plain sand.

2. Division: It is usually carried out in March and April. Sow it in a flowerpot, water it and place it in a shady place to keep it moist. Under the condition of 25℃-30℃, it will germinate in about 25 days.

3. Notes

The roots of the evergreen are fleshy. Although it likes a moist growing environment, the roots will easily rot if there is too much water. If the leaf tips begin to change color in winter, it may be that the roots are not absorbing enough water, so water should be given as appropriate.
