Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertilizer to support its lush growth. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.
• For Professional Gardeners: Professionals can experiment with propagation through stem cuttings. Regular repotting every 2-3 years will help refresh the soil and provide additional space for root development. Monitor for common pests like spider mites and aphids, and treat as necessary.

Pet Safety:

• Toxic: Dieffenbachia 'Perfection Compacta' is toxic to pets if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep it out of reach of pets and children. If ingestion is suspected, seek veterinary assistance immediately.
