How to Care for Your Dieffenbachia 'Camille'
Place your 'Camille' in a location with filtered light — near east- or north-facing windows works well. Use a well-draining soil mix and water when the top of the soil feels dry. This plant can handle short periods of drought but will thrive with consistent, moderate moisture.
It performs best in average to high humidity but also adapts well to typical indoor environments. Mist occasionally to promote lush growth and prevent dry tips. Wipe leaves regularly to maintain their color contrast and glossy texture.
Prune lower leaves or stems if they yellow naturally with age, and rotate the pot every couple of weeks to encourage even growth.
