Here is the care tips for Dieffenbachia Camille Plant :

🌞 Light : Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. While direct sun may scorch the leaves. Filtered light through a curtain works perfectly.

💧 Water : Keep the soil lightly moist, not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can cause root rot.

💦 Humidity :  Loves high humidity (60–80%). Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place the pot on a pebble tray with water.

🌡️ Temperature : Thrives in warm, humid environments — ideally between 18°c–35°c. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

🪴 Soil : Use a well-draining, airy mix — equal parts coco peat, river sand, cinder, charcoal, and a little compost or worm castings.

⚡ Fertilizer : Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season for vibrant variegation.

✂️ Pruning & training : Trim yellow leaves to encourage new growth and maintain its full, lush shape.

🧺 Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Choose a container just one size larger to avoid excess moisture retention.

🐛 Pests: Like most indoor plants, it may attract pests like mealybugs or spider mites. Check regularly, and if necessary, treat with insecticidal soap or a neem oil solution.

👉 By following these simple guidelines, your plant will thrive and become a beautiful, cascading feature in your home!
