Dieffenbachia seguine prefer light shade or indirect light in the summer and a slightly brighter position in the winter. From spring to autumn, they require watering only when the top few centimetres of their soil has dried out and even less in the winter. As a tropical plant, the Dieffenbachia enjoys humid climates and would suit a bathroom or kitchen. Regularly misting is another way to mimic its natural environment and keep it happy. Fast-growing plants, in the spring and summer, Dieffenbachia will also benefit from being fed once per month with liquid fertiliser.
