Dieffenbachia Green Magic 12cm ⚡

🌿 Dieffenbachia ‘Green Magic’ Care Guide

The Green Magic is a bold foliage plant with deep emerald-green leaves and a striking bright lime midrib that almost glows. Upright, full, and fast to fill a space, it delivers instant jungle impact with very little effort.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Handles medium light well

• Avoid direct sun — leaves can scorch

• Brighter light = stronger contrast in the midrib

💧 Water

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil are dry

• Likes evenly moist soil, never soggy

• Use a well-draining houseplant mix

• Drooping leaves = thirsty

• Yellowing leaves or soft stems = overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Happy in average household humidity

• Extra humidity keeps leaves looking their best but isn’t essential

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C

• Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes

• Never below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Upright, bushy growth habit — great for floors and larger pots

• Rotate occasionally for even shape

• Wipe leaves to keep them glossy and dust-free

• Can be pruned to control height and encourage fullness

• Sap is toxic — keep away from pets and children
