Dieffenbachia oerstedii requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It prefers high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Ensure the plant is kept in a stable environment without sudden temperature changes.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand can help improve drainage. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Feed Dieffenbachia oerstedii with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Verpotten
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Voortplanting
Dieffenbachia oerstedii can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant it to a pot with soil.Snoeien
Prune the plant to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts. Pruning can also encourage new growth and keep the plant looking healthy.Toxiciteit
