Dieffenbachia 'Sublime'
About Dieffenbachia 'Sublime'
Dieffenbachia was cultivated in England before 1759 and upper Amazon indigenous groups are known to have used their calcium oxalates to make poison arrows. Dieffenbachia flowers can generate large amounts of excess heat which botanists believe attracts potential pollinators to the flower's warmth. 🐝

How to fertilize Dieffenbachia 'Sublime'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dieffenbachia 'Sublime' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’m new to this app. How do I find what is wrong with this plant. The leaves are browning and droopy. I thought the app diagnosed the plants. Am I wrong? #Dieffenbachia

I live in S. California in the high desert. I put her on my patio because it had too many tiny aphids. Can she be an outdoor plant? Lost a lot of rich leaf color and dropping . #Dieffenbachia

Elphaba is turning yellow on the bottom. I can’t figure out if I’m over or under watering her. I thought maybe the bottom leaves just weren’t getting sun, so I put a grow light on the bottom for an hour at 25% tonight. Any suggestions? #yellowingleaves #Dieffenbachia

His leaves are very droopy after I overwatered him. Wanted to let him dry out after repotting but it’s been a week and he still looks sad. Any help would be great. #Dieffenbachia
