This is my Diffenbachia exotica. I’ve been following Planta’s watering and sun advice since August. Anyone else have ideas? She’s still withering and turning yellow but I keep her water level at moist and indirect sunlight.

What direction does this window face?

Do you fertilize? What’s the soil made up of?

Mine got leggy and yellowed like that when I had her in regular potting soil and kept her moist. I chopped her into 4 different plants; the root ball, two 6" pieces of stem, and the head. Repotted in Espoma African Violet soil and started letting the top inch or two of soil dry out before watering. She's growing much better now!

The pictures on the left are the head of the plant (and my cat trying to unalive herself 🙄) and the two stem pieces once they started rooting and getting leaves. They went to new homes shortly after, but the pictures on the right are the root ball's new leaves and growth in just a few months!

ALSO!! If you don't already know, be very careful when you handle this plant; they're super toxic. I've lost feeling in my mouth 4 times because I'm an idiot who licks sap off my fingers instead of wearing gloves (I also don't learn my lesson, clearly 😂)
