Dieffenbachia
Once considered a retro plant, Dieffenbachia today surprises with its fashionable compact varieties.
They forgive almost any mistakes and require only basic care. Uninhibited, with large, solid oval-pointed leaves, the plant surprises with hybrid varieties with unimaginable variations of variegated patterns. The succulent thick shoots with the growing point at the top of modern Dieffenbachias are shortened; they bush better. You can endlessly watch how, after the leaf unfolds, the next leaf rolled into a tube begins to grow from the middle.

Features of caring for indoor plants: watering techniques (with photos and videos)
When caring for indoor plants, they should be watered with water at room temperature (20-24°C). Watering with cold water leads to fungal diseases. Before watering, tap water must be left to stand for 12-14 hours so that the chlorine evaporates and the lime settles. You can pass water for irrigation through a household filter. Taking into account this feature of caring for indoor plants, water them in such a way that the water saturates the entire plant, and its excess freely flows into the pan through the drainage hole.
Do not forget that when performing this agrotechnical technique when caring for indoor plants, excess water with poor drainage causes acidification of the soil, rotting of the roots and, ultimately, the death of the entire flower.
To prevent the formation of a crust on the soil in the pot, loosen it after watering to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. This will improve air access to the roots.
Watering plants with rainwater is very beneficial. Recently transplanted plants are watered less frequently, since the root system has not yet entwined the earthen ball and water is absorbed slowly. Flowering plants in a period of active growth need abundant watering, and in a state of dormancy - moderate and rare.
When caring for indoor plants, you should follow special watering rules:
Cacti and other succulents are watered carefully, directing the stream of water onto the substrate without wetting the plants themselves. Saintpaulias and gloxinias are watered through a tray. Bromeliads love moisture; There should always be water in the funnels formed by their leaf rosettes, so when watering, the spout of the watering can is directed to the center of the funnel. Epiphytes, as well as very dry plants, should be immersed in water along with the pot for 35-50 seconds. After this, place the pot on a tray and let the water drain
Remove water from the pan. Plants grown using the bonsai technique are watered in the same way.
In summer, plants, as a rule, do not lack fresh air. Another thing is during the cold season. Direct influence of cold outside air on plants and drafts should be avoided. Ventilation can not only provide the flow of fresh air that plants constantly need, but also regulate the temperature in the room. If you plan to move your plants to the balcony in the spring and summer, then they should be accustomed to fresh air in advance.
Create a favorable air regime for your plants, and they will delight you with a healthy appearance and regular flowering.
