Hello everyone! I have a problem with my Dieffenbachia plant. It was healthy and green in November, but lately, it has started to wither and dry up even though I have been watering it every ten days. I water it whenever the top inch of soil gets dry as well. I am not sure if it's dying or if there is a chance of recovery. Should I cut off the dried leaves and wait for them to recover in the spring?

Might be overwatering? How much sun does it get? In winter, some plants don’t need as much water. I would get a water gauge so you can measure just how much water is way down in the pot.

I agree with Nina9. Recovery depends on how healthy the roots are. Sadly, the current foliage looks unsalvageable.
