Dieffenbachia 'Memoria Corsii' is a compact, tropical houseplant prized for its dramatic variegated foliage. Leaves are broad and elliptical with creamy-to-yellow centers and deep green margins, often with irregular speckling or streaks. It typically grows upright to a tidy, clumping form reaching around 2–4 feet tall indoors.

Light

Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves; tolerates lower light but growth slows.

Water

Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 1–2 inches are dry. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist leaves occasionally or place pot on a humidity tray; avoid dry drafts.

Temperature

Warm conditions, 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Soil & potting

Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Ensure pot has drainage holes. Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

Fertilizer

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. No feeding in winter.

Toxicity

All parts are toxic if ingested and can irritate skin—keep away from children and pets; wear gloves when handling damaged stems. Plant can cause severe swelling and irritation if chewed—seek medical help for ingestion.
