This is an update on my Dieffenbachia Camilla. The leaves look “dry not w/a healthy gloss or shine”. I am not sure if I should get one of those plant lights. Here are pics. I am watering it once a week or when soil is dry, and I make sure I am draining out the excess water. It looks like it is dying. Is the new pot too big…I am just unsure. I feel sad because I have been really trying not to let it die but I’m not sure I’m successful. Any thoughts? Thanks for your advice.
I’m sorry that I have no solid advice here, all I will say is that I have over 70 plants, and I cannot keep a dieffenbachia happy for the life of me… they are such little drama queens. I hope she heals up! ❤️🩹
0 Mi piaceGood night! And the woman at the Farmers Market told me to get this plant when I told her “I am not good with plants” 🤦🏾♀️ I have this ultra violet light I bought… I don’t even know if this would help. In any case… thanks for sharing and responding. Happy Holidays to you.

Also make sure the pot isn't oversized for the root mass; you want the pot to be 1-2 inches in diameter bigger than the root ball.) If you don't find rot, it might be a sunburn or temperature issue. Protect it from extreme temperatures and maybe move it further away from its window or lighting
1 mi piaceThanks I wanted to share that I saw little flying bugs…. How do I get rid of the bugs and how do I treat the roots with Hydrogen peroxide? I am a “Virgin Plant Owner”. I do not get good lighting in my house. I’m in NYC and right now it’s 26 degrees and so I can’t have them on my terrace. What do I do first? Take plant out of pot? Do I rinse off roots? Is this where I treat the roots with the peroxide? And what am I doing with the peroxide? I wonder if this is my issues with my snake plant too. Thanks
