Dieffenbachia White Amazon is a striking tropical houseplant known for its large, glossy leaves patterned in cream and green. The foliage typically features broad, pale centers with darker green margins and subtle variegation, creating a bold, high-contrast look that brightens indoor spaces.

Light

Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves.

Water

Water when the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining potting mix (standard indoor mix with added perlite or orchid bark).

Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperature 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep above 60°F (15°C). Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist leaves occasionally or use a pebble tray/humidifier if air is dry.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer).

Toxicity & Safety

All parts are toxic if ingested and can cause irritation. Keep away from children and pets. Wear gloves when pruning, as sap may irritate skin.

General Tips

Maintain consistent care—Dieffenbachia dislikes sudden temperature or light changes.
