Can my Dieffenbachia bounce back to what is was?

So sad that I had to cut all of the leaves off of this beautiful #DieffenbachiaCompacta - I adjusted my care to Greg’s recommendations, but unfortunately it was too late. All of the leaves burned up. Do you guys think it could make a comeback? If so, how long would it take? Will it ever be as full and beautiful as it once was? #Dieffenbachia

@mlongiii gotcha! Plants are incredibly resilient. With proper lighting, you should see new growth in a few weeks. But be patient as these can be slow growers.

You mentioned the leaves burned up. Was it receiving direct sunlight?

@hoyahead Yes it was receiving about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight everyday. It has recently been relocated to an area that receives bright indirect light.
