Dieffenbachia Camille Sapling

Dieffenbachia Camille, also known as Dumb Cane Camille, is a popular houseplant admired for its large, oval-shaped leaves featuring striking green and yellow variegation. Here are key care guidelines for maintaining a healthy Dieffenbachia Camille sapling:

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light but grows best in well-lit areas.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sun can scorch the leaves, so place it near a window with filtered light.

Watering

• Soil Moisture: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Avoid Overwatering: Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot; do not let the plant sit in standing water.

Temperature and Humidity

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions, ideally between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels (40% to 60%). Increase humidity by misting or using a humidifier.

Fertilization

• Growing Season: Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows.

Repotting

• Frequency: Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound. Use a pot that is slightly larger to allow for growth.

Toxicity

• Caution: Dieffenbachia Camille is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and animals.

By following these care tips, your Dieffenbachia Camille sapling can thrive and become a beautiful addition to your indoor plant collection.
