# What’s wrong with my Camille (dieffenbachia maculata)? He has been…

_Posted by olive\_birding on 2024-05-07_

What’s wrong with my Camille (dieffenbachia maculata)?

He has been browning out/yellowing along the edges for a while now. I moved him closer to the window, I water when soil is dry, and I recently repotted him to make sure it wasn’t root rot or anything (issues began before I repotted him).

You can see the yellowing of the leaves is no longer just the edges of the leaves and are spotting entirely. The newer baby leaves are already starting to shrivel at the end.

Help please!!!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any advice because my dieffenbachia compacta has the same issue. I just wanted to share that I feel your pain, so much so that my plant’s name is now d\*ckhead.

Hope someone is able to help! ♥️
