Dieffenbachia and Silver Satin Pictus are the plants with variegated leaves, which look quite impressive due to their unquie coloring. The first one reminds some tree with sufficiently big leaves, and the other one can grab your attention with its foliage, whcih is velvety for the touch, but its texture is quite matte. Growing conditions for Dieffenbachia: -lighting: it feels great on a bright windowsill with diffused sunlight. But if there is not enough light, its stem will stretch very fast and will become very thin with few leaves on the top. -watering: use a copious amount of settled water for this plant, and reduce its amount in winter. But still make sure that the soil does not dry out. -fertilizing: use the fertilizers once in two weeks during growing period. Dieffenbachia gives extremely positive reaction to the nitrogen-containing organic fertilizers. -nuances: Dieffenbachia prefers high level of humidity, so it is necessary to moisturize the plant as often as possible. The temperature for growing this houseplant should vary from 70 to 80°F, but not less than 50°F. Indoors the plant can bloom each year, but only under the suitable conditions. Growing conditions for Silver Satin Pictus: -lighting: it requires bright, indirect light all the year. Direct sunlight can burn its leaves, while low light can cause the leaves to lose their variegation. -watering: water the plant copious, but let top few inches of soil dry out between watering, because the thick structure of foliage can store water well. Use settled water of room temperature. Don’t overwater the plant because the leaves can lose its unique coloring and become yellow. -fertilizing: feed the plant monthly during growing season. -nuances: the humidity should be moderate, but if the air in the house too dry, it is important to mist the plant. The plant is intolerant for cold weather, so the temperature should be not less than 59°F. Ideal range of temperature for Silver Satin Pictus is from 65 to 85°F. Repot the plant in spring when the pot becomes too small for the plant, which can be obvious because of appearance of aerial roots outside the pot. Use the pot slightly bigger than previous one.
