Water: Water when the soil is about 75-100% dry. Leaves will begin to curl in and/or droop. Dieffenbachia have a thick trunk that stores a lot of water. They can experience root rot easily from overwatering, so make sure the soil dries thoroughly in between watering. 

Repotting: Repot into a nutrient rich, chunky soil. You can add orchid bark, gravel, LECA, perlite, rice hulls, etc into a regular potting mix. If repotting into a glazed ceramic or plastic pot, you won’t need to water as often as the pot will retain moisture. Terra cotta or unglazed ceramic is sometimes better to allow more airflow to the soil.
