3. Watering: Watering must be moderate. The soil should dry slightly on the surface between waterings. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering to avoid excessive watering. Water the plant at the base to avoid direct watering of the leaves, which can lead to fungal diseases.

7. Propagation: Dieffenbachia is propagated by stem cuttings or dividing the bush. Cuttings can be taken in spring or summer and planted in well-drained soil.
