Elegant and bold, the Dieffenbachia ‘Sterling’ stands out with its deep green leaves and striking silvery-white midribs — a modern tropical classic that instantly elevates any room. Its lush foliage and easygoing nature make it a favorite for both beginners and plant enthusiasts.
Light:
Enjoys bright, indirect light but also adapts well to medium indoor light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A few feet away from a bright window is ideal.
Watering:
Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom, then empty any excess from the saucer. In cooler months, reduce watering frequency. Overwatering can lead to soft, yellowing leaves.
Humidity & Temperature:
Loves moderate to high humidity and warm conditions between 18–28°C. Keep away from cold drafts or air conditioning vents.
Placement:
A perfect indoor foliage plant for living rooms, offices, or shaded patios. Its upright growth and bold leaves make it a beautiful statement in corners or as part of a green cluster.
Growth Habit:
A compact, upright grower that can reach 60–90 cm in height over time. New leaves unfurl with fresh silvery veins that deepen as they mature.
UG Plants Tip:
Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth every few weeks — it keeps them glossy and helps the plant breathe better.
