The acidity of such a soil should be slightly acidic.
It is important to note that in the case when there is waterlogging of the soil or a low temperature regime, the very base of the stem of this plant may rot, and the edges of the leaves may begin to turn brown.

In addition, reproduction can be carried out by rooting stem cuttings in a mixture consisting of peat and coarse sand: such rooting should take place at a temperature of about twenty to twenty-five degrees Celsius.
For a favorable cultivation of dieffenbachia spotted, it will be necessary to provide the plant with an air humidity of less than sixty percent, in addition to this, the plant also needs regular spraying with soft water at room temperature.
