Dieffenbachia Memoria Corsii Care Guide & Presentation
Prefers medium levels of indirect light.
Water well and then allow the soil to dry out between each watering.
Enjoys humidity. Spritz occasionally.
Keep this plant in rooms where the temperature is a comfortable 60°F-75°F and avoid cold drafts or air vents below 55°F.
Outside: Keep them in full shade on a patio out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn where nights are above 55°F.
Fertilize throughout the spring, summer and fall every six weeks. Apply at half-strength a balanced, liquid fertilizer especially formulated for indoor plants and let them rest in the winter.
When receiving the Dieffenbachia, do not repot immediately but wait at least 6-12 months or if the roots are beginning to get crowded and growing through the drainage holes.
Repot in the spring, using a 2 inches bigger pot to keep the roots drier. (Too big of a planter could cause the soil to dry slower.)
Place a piece of screening at the bottom of the container to secure the soil and allow to drain. Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite to help with drainage. Plant in the old pot before transferring over and let sit an hour.
Add soil to the bottom to elevate the root ball. Lift the plant and release the roots against the existing planter. Use a clean knife or garden trowel to wedge between the pot and the soil to loosen.
Inspect the root ball. Notice if there are any dead or rotting roots and trim off with sterile pruners. If the plant is rootbound, loosen the roots to alleviate continued encircling.
Ensure the plant is sitting about 1 inch below the edge of the pot to avoid water spillage. Add more soil and backfill around the sides by tamping down. Fill up to the soil line but not over.
Water thoroughly, leaving the soil damp but not soggy. If settling occurs, add more soil.
Water well to dampen the soil and let drain.
To clean the leaves and alleviate dust particles, give them a shower from above. Fill a watering can with filtered, distilled or tap water that has been sitting for 24 hours. Place the plant in a sink and lightly wash the leaves with a shower spray end watering can.
Trim off any brown leaf tips that may appear with sterile scissors. Remove any debris from the soil and replenish soil if needed. Inspect for any insects at this time.
To propagate this plant during the growing season, take a stem cutting in the early spring. Use a knife or sharp pruners, cut below a node where there are at least three leaves. Find a place in the plant where there are still stalks on either side with leaves so they will have a chance to generate new leaves. Place the stem in a glass jar and fill with filtered water and watch the roots grow! Replace and freshen the water each week. After the roots are several months old, add to moistened potting soil, continue to water, and give them the bright, indirect lighting requirements.

Dieffenbachia Memoria Corsii: Care Guide
Dieffenbachia Memoria is easy to care for and undemanding. Here are all the essential Dieffenbachia Memoria Corsii care tips that will help you keep your plant lush and flourishing:
Watering and Humidity
Water your Dieffenbachia plant well and allow the soil to dry before watering again. Good drainage is important to protect your plant from root rot. Dieffenbachias enjoy some extra humidity. Mist this plant occasionally or place its pot on a tray filled with small stones to retain moisture and increase humidity around your plant.
Light and Temperature
Place your plant in medium to bright indirect light. Keep it out of direct sun rays to prevent its delicate leaves from sun damage. If you decide to keep your plant outside on the porch in the summer, place it in full shade. For the best Dieffenbachia care, provide a stable temperature from 60℉ - 80℉, and remember that Dieffenbachia can be sensitive to cold drafts.
Soil, Feeding, and Repotting
Well-draining, rich soil is the best choice for your plant. Add some perlite and choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent overwatering. Feed your Dieffenbachia Memoria Corsii once a month with a liquid fertilizer. Stop feeding during winter when your plant goes dormant. Repot once in three years or when the plant gets rootbound and you see roots growing out of the drainage holes. The best season for repotting is springtime.
Propagation
You can easily propagate your beloved Dieffenbachia from stem cuttings in spring. Ensure that each cutting has several stalks attached and place them in water or soil. If you are rooting the cuttings in water, change it weekly for best results. After the roots develop, plant each cutting in moist but well-draining soil. You can also propagate a larger plant via division in the spring.
Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues
Dumb Cane care includes pruning your plant to keep it from getting too leggy and to maintain the desired shape. Prune the top growth to promote lushness and remove any dead or wilting leaves. Keep the soil clean from debris.
One of the Dieffenbachia benefits is its hardiness and resilience. Still, check for pests regularly and use an organic insecticide or neem oil if needed. Yellowing, soft leaves often indicate overwatering. If your plant is getting too much direct light or lacks humidity, the tips of the leaves will sometimes turn brown and crispy.
