Dieffenbachia is one of the easiest indoor houseplants to grow - and one of the most common indoor plants.
Lighting: Dieffenbachias like plenty of light, but they will tolerate low-light spots, as well.
Humidity: Just like most tropical houseplants, grow dieffenbachia in a relatively warm, humid spot. If the leaves develop brown tips or edges, the air may be too dry. Remedy this by relocating your dieffenbachia to a well-lit bathroom (or other humid spots), grouping it with other houseplants (which release moisture into the air as they breathe).
Watering: Dieffenbachia plants like regular watering, but they don't ever want the soil to be wet or soggy for extended periods. Because more indoor plants die from overwatering than underwatering every year, it's best to keep dieffenbachias on the dry side if you're in doubt about whether to water them.
Tip: It is common for dieffenbachias to lose their lower leaves as they grow and mature.
