Description
Dieffenbachia 'Amy' is a striking indoor foliage plant with bold, variegated leaves patterned in creamy white and soft green, edged by deep green margins. It grows upright and bushy, reaching around 1.8?M tall and 90?cm wide, and adds a lush, tropical look to Perth homes and offices. Best grown in bright, indirect light, it’s ideal for indoor pots in protected, warm spots.
Use a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix and water when the top centimetre of soil feels dry. Keep humidity moderate to high, especially during Perth’s warmer months (Djilba to Bunuru). Fertilise monthly during active growth, and reduce watering through the cooler months (Djeran to Makuru). Wipe leaves clean occasionally and trim any yellowing foliage to keep the plant looking its best.
