About Dieffenbachia 'Camille'
Dieffenbachia was cultivated in England before 1759 and upper Amazon indigenous groups are known to have used their calcium oxalates to make poison arrows. Dieffenbachia flowers can generate large amounts of excess heat which botanists believe attracts potential pollinators to the flower's warmth. 🐝

How to fertilize Dieffenbachia 'Camille'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dieffenbachia 'Camille' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why is she doing this? #Dieffenbachia I repotted my dieffenbachia about 3 weeks ago. It’s at work, so the first weekend after I came in to about 3 yellow leaves. I thought, maybe my soil to chunky mix ratio was off, so I added soil to it last week. I came in today and found 5 more yellow leaves and some turning color like the picture below. I don’t see any pests. Should I down size the pot? What could the issue be? 😩

Gave Betty a shower about two weeks ago and I think it worked. She lost a lot of leaves, but the remaining ones are strong. She was suffering from a fungus I believe. Now she’s all better 🥰 #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Dieffenbachiacamille

Dieffenbachia Camille yellowing My Dieffenbachia Camille (her name is Camilla) appears healthy but continues to get yellow leaves and I’m getting worried because these are now 6 leaves within the last couple of weeks (the others wilted off completely!) Can anyone share their ideal setup for this specific plant? I have her near my Swiss Cheese plant (his name is Charles) in a well-lit southern room, though all indirect sunlight. The only thing I can think of is it’s perhaps too warm, or too much sun? If she’s not compatible with Charles’ vibe, maybe I should relocate her (and rename her to Diana)? #Dieffenbachia #DieffenbachiaCamille #DramaticPlants #help #helpneeded

Dieffenbachia Hi I’m new to being a plant owner!! I just checked my leafs yesterday and on all my plants and didn’t see anything on my dumbcane but still sprayed neem oil on all of them anyways. Does neem oil happen to leave a white residue? Or could this be mealy worms. I’ve never dealt with anything but gnats. #PestControl #NewPlantMom #NeemOil #help #helpneeded

Is this normal or did I damage my plant?? #Dieffenbachia I accidentally over watered cosmo the other day when my 1 year old was helping me. I watered him twice in about a week. His big leaf has been more droopy so I thought he was thirsty. Baby distracted me and put too much water. In my daily check in I checked how fast it was drying and noticed some dry flat dead roots near the top. The rest of is is white and healthy looking. Just stop dead bits that came off snd a few seem a little flimsier that others. Is this normal or did i cause detrimental damage??

What's its issue. I can't find any bugs but some spots are looking ripped or chewed. #Dieffenbachia If it is a bug please help figure out what kind. It's been happy tons of new growth. 4 just opened and it already has 3 new growing. I'm just concerned about the damage. I included damage spots and maybe dirt maybe a bug? I just wiped the whole plant down on tues and didn't find/see anything.

I have new growth but the bigger leaves keep dying. I'm following the instructions the app gives me and have it near a grow light that's on pretty much all day. I trimmed off the dying leaves so it wouldn't waste it's energy on them. #Dieffenbachia

Weird darp spots on the leafs? These new brown spots are popping up on my larger leafs. I've been watering appropriately but I think the soil is the problem. It is water retaining soil. Do I just need to re pot or is there another reason? There's LOADS of new leafs growing in but the bigger ones are not happy. #Dieffenbachia
