Growth: Dieffenbachia 'White Etna' is a moderate to fast grower, reaching a height of 60 to 90 cm indoors. Its broad, variegated leaves grow densely, forming a lush clump that provides a beautiful visual presence.

Light: Dieffenbachia 'White Etna' prefers bright, indirect light. It also tolerates moderate light conditions, but to maintain its leaf vibrancy and variegation, it is recommended to provide it with sufficient light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Watering: Water regularly to keep the substrate slightly moist, but be careful not to let water stagnate in the pot. Allow the surface of the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In winter, watering can be reduced slightly, but the soil should never dry out completely.
