Dumb Cane thrives with bright, indirect light, regular watering (allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings), and moderate to high humidity. They prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be kept away from drafts and sudden temperature changes.  
Here's a more detailed look at Dieffenbachia care:  
1\. Light:  
Dieffenbachia thrives in bright, indirect light.  
They can tolerate lower light conditions but will be less vigorous.  
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.  
2\. Water:  
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch.  
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.  
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.  
3\. Humidity:  
Dieffenbachia prefers higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help.  
They can tolerate average home humidity, but misting or a pebble tray can help increase it.  
4\. Temperature and Drafts:  
Dieffenbachia thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C).  
Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can cause leaves to yellow or curl.  
5\. Soil:  
Use a well-draining potting mix with good drainage.  
Peat moss can be added to help retain moisture.  
6\. Fertilizing:  
Fertilize once per month during the spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer.  
Do not fertilize when the soil is dry.  
7\. Pest and Disease:  
Dieffenbachia is susceptible to spider mites, so increase humidity around the plant to help prevent them.  
Dust the leaves regularly to help prevent fungal issues and allow for better photosynthesis.

Is it getting bright light? Is it sitting near the AC or furnace register, is it near an outside door? How often do you water? And how much? We can’t help you if we don’t have all the details. Hopefully this information from Google can help you a little. If you still have questions please list details and we’ll see if we can help😊

Make sure it has proper drainage.
