CARE FOR DUMBCANE

1. Light: Medium or high light areas will provide the best leaf color and plant appearance. Avoid full sun to prevent burned leaves.
2. Water: Keep the soil moist, but let the soil surface dry partially between watering. Excessively dry soil can cause the lower leaves to turn yellow.
3. Temperature: Keep temperatures between 65° and 80°F. Colder temperatures can damage the Dumbcane.
