Dieffenbacha Assorted. $15

Dieffenbachia is one of the easiest indoor houseplants to grow and one of the the easiest to find.

Most dieffenbachia varieties do best in bright, indirect light. Because the foliage has variegation, they will need to receive enough light to keep it. "Keep it in a west, east, or south-facing window," says Plants.com. "But dieffenbachia can tolerate low-light spots and can do well in filtered light as well." However, if your dieffenbachia stays in a low-light environment, its leaves will revert to all green.

Dieffenbachia does not require much when it comes to feeding. Plants.com recommends feeding dieffenbachia with an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer once per season. Fertilizing dieffenbachia encourages it to grow more and faster.

Plant dieffenbachia in a well-draining soil mix. They like consistently moist but not soggy soil. To make sure you are keeping the soil moisture level just right, check the soil to make sure it is dry an inch down before watering. When you do water, make sure you add enough water until it runs out of the bottom of the container. Overwatering and keeping the plant in a container or soil that does not drain well can lead to root rot.
