Cultural
information: This ever popular Dieffenbachia has
withstood the tests of time and proven itself to be a winner.
Place your "Camile" in bright filtered light near an
east, west or south window. Check for water weekly... watering
when the soil has dried one inch down on small plants and two
inches for larger plants. Feed monthly with Peter's Plant Food
during the spring and summer... bi-monthly during the winter.
Dieffenbachia "Camile" is usually available in 3"
starter plants thru 10" containers.
If your plant happens to get hit with a spider
mite infestation... place it in the sink and give it a
good bath with the sink sprayer. Then spray the entire plant with
Safer's Ultra Fine Oil spray available from our sponsors.
