How to Care for Large Dieffenbachia Reflecta 'Cheetah'

Jul 31, 2026

Large Dieffenbachia Reflecta 'Cheetah' is grown for its broad leaves and upright growth. This plant grows best in warm indoor temperatures with a well-draining indoor potting mix, moderate indoor humidity, and medium to bright indirect light.

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Providing proper drainage and airflow will help reduce the risk of root problems and leaf stress. Monitor the plant for yellowing leaves, soft stems, or brown edges. With stable indoor conditions and regular care, Large Dieffenbachia Reflecta 'Cheetah' can continue growing well over time.
