As a new plant mom who has/had the brownest thumb ever lol I’ve been pouring over YT videos abt specific plant care and I must say, yours is one of my favorites specifically bc of the language you use. I’m all about precision of language; instead of just assuming the audience knows what you’re talking about and speaking in vague generalities. So thank you 😊

this brings me so much comfort! I thought I killed my dumb cane because the bottom leaves are yellowing. Now I understand that its just the older leaves falling off. I have it near my window with the best indirect light coming through and have watered it when I feel the soil is partially moist, letting the water drain from the drainage holes. so I think its just growing up! lol thank you for the tips!

Hello! If you’re looking at this your dieffenbachia camille is probably yellowing. Mine was pretty much dead the first time I saw this video, and since then I’ve changed EVERYTHING I could. I moved my camille but I noticed she didn’t like that, so I moved her back to her original place. (Underneath a ceiling window, the light is indirect because it’s covered with a decorative coffee bag.) I started misting and spraying my camille at LEAST twice a day. Just the leaves, I noticed in a matter of days how beautiful she got. She’s now full of new growth and the new leaves tend to open up very quickly with the regular sprays. I try to always save up rain water for my plants, they love it. I water my camille once every week or whenever I feel the soil a bit too dry. Spraying and misting truly saved my plant. You just need to be regular with it.

Also, I would like to point out that dieffenbachias tend to shed their lower leaves often, that’s completely normal. That means they’re growing.

Wow! So enlightening! Pardon the pon. My neighbor said her Cebu Blue Pothos was not doing well. What was wrong with it? I said I could not help her until I saw where it lives. She looked at me like I was nuts. She ssid it is in my sunroom by the windows. I went into the house and step by step went over what it might be. Since I have watched your videos and am getting a better understanding of what my plants need and how I can help them be healthy and happy. Comparing a plant in a nursery to an Olympic athlete is so eye opening. It really helps me to understand of what I can and can not provide to different types of plants. Thank you! 😎

Hi, my Dieffenbachia is living in my piano room in the middle of two windows bright indirect light. The only problem I have is my plant does not like to be watered when it is dry two or there inches down. If I water at this point it will get root rot because this is my second plant....:) This one tends to like it dry before watering does this sound normal? So far it is going good besides a few leaves yellowing and me cutting them off. Still quite full.

You touched on a key factor of watering most potted plants; to water thoroughly and properly water must come out the drainage holes. To know if this is occurring one needs to be able to see the bottom of the pot, which can be difficult if the plant is double potted, in a decorative container, basket, etc.. A plant needs to be installed in such a way that one can see the water draining and that the water is adequately contained in a correctly sized drip tray or other means. In some instances after watering any water remaining in the drip tray or receptacle after a couple of hours will need to be removed. Thus one needs easy access to the tray. Proper installation is important. I often advise folks to take plants that have high water requirements to a sink of tub / shower to water them, if practical. That way they are most likely to get watered thoroughly without making a mess .

My dieffenbachia green magic is propably dying! Heeelp... It has received light (except less this time of the year) and I check the roots are not rotten, and recently I have been misting it more. What is the solution? Its not just at the point where is couple yellow leafs, the whole plant is almost limp.. :( I have also newer different type of dieffenbachia and its getting some yellow leafs quite fast :( Somehow all the plants that don't have that stronger rubbery feel to their leafs, are difficult in my home.. And I live in Finland where we don't have much sun in these months...and now its like many weeks only cloudy weather, no sun. But I keep them close to window. Is plant light any help for this type of plants? I have only one plantlight now and its for other plants at the moment.
