GROWING TIP:
To keep your Dieffenbachia Compacta looking its absolute best, place it in bright, indirect light, though it will adapt well to partial shade. Allow the top two inches of potting soil to dry out completely before watering, and ensure the pot has excellent drainage, as overwatering and soggy roots can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop.
