Best Locations for Growing Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia
The Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia adds a straightforward yet sophisticated touch to any space. Depending on its size, it can serve as lovely tabletop decor or a stunning floor plant. Given the right conditions, this plant grows quickly and can rapidly fill out its space. Choose a spot with appropriate sunlight to help this houseplant thrive.
Be careful because Dieffenbachias produce a poisonous sap when the leaves or stems are broken. Be mindful introducing this plant into your home if you have pets or small children, especially if they tend to handle plants.
Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia Sunlight Requirements
Place the Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. A spot several feet back from a bright window is often ideal. Increased light promotes prolific growth, resulting in a dense, bushy form. Abundant light also enhances the bold variegation and vibrant colors of the plant. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while low light may lead to smaller, muted leaves and a leggy or straggly appearance.
Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia Care
Dieffenbachias are easy to grow and require minimal attention, making them ideal for plant owners of any skill level. Exercise caution when handling or pruning the plant, as it produces a sap that can cause skin irritation and is toxic if ingested. Wear gloves while pruning and clean your pruning shears before and after use.
Repot your Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia every one to two years if it shows signs of being root-bound. When repotting, select a new pot that is up to two inches wider. Use a moist yet well-drained potting soil with high organic content.
Watering Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia
Water the Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia every one to two weeks or when the top couple of inches of potting soil are dry. Factors such as sunlight and humidity will affect how quickly the soil dries, so watering needs may vary. In winter, when growth slows, reduce watering to every two to three weeks.
This plant prefers average to above-average humidity. Extra moisture in the air helps keep the foliage lush and vibrant, while dry air can cause the leaves to brown along the edges.
Feeding Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia
Feed the Cool Beauty Dieffenbachia monthly during the growing season to maintain its fullness. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to support even and consistent growth. Stop fertilizing in the fall and winter if growth slows or ceases.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
