Plant Faqs
How much light does a Reflector Dieffenbachia need? It prefers bright, indirect light; keep it away from direct sun to protect the leaves. Is this plant toxic? Like other Dieffenbachia species, it is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and children. Why are the leaves turning yellow? Overwatering is the most common cause; ensure the pot has drainage and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. How large will it grow? It typically reaches 2-3 feet in height in a standard indoor container.
Root Look
Healthy, white, fibrous roots within the soil plug structure.
Soil Look
Dark, moist, organic-rich potting medium with visible drainage particles.
Starter Stage
Small, rooted plug with 2-4 developing leaves.
Starter Stage Morphology
