The broad, lance-shaped leaves are a deep glossy green, heavily speckled and mottled with bright lime to yellow patterning that appears almost luminous under the right lighting conditions. This “reflective” effect gives the cultivar its name and makes it a standout in indoor plant ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows in a compact, upright clumping habit with thick, cane-like stems. Compared to older Dieffenbachia varieties, ‘Reflector’ is more refined in form and colour, making it highly desirable for retail. It performs well indoors but, like most variegated aroids, requires stable conditions to maintain leaf quality and colour intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Plan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light is ideal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolerates medium light but with reduced colour intensity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid direct sun, which can scorch and bleach the foliage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry slightly between watering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce frequency in cooler months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefers moderate to high humidity (60%+ ideal)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill tolerate average indoor humidity but may develop brown edges if too dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefits from improved humidity in warmer conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal range: 18–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid temperatures below 15°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtect from cold drafts and sudden changes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a well-draining, airy potting mix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of potting mix, perlite, and bark works well\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlightly acidic to neutral pH preferred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFertilising\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce feeding in cooler months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid overfertilising to prevent leaf burn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove older or damaged leaves to maintain appearance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe leaves occasionally to keep foliage clean and glossy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrune to control height or encourage bushier growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Enliven","offers":[{"title":"180mm \/ R53","offer_id":52770601500972,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/8942\/1868\/products\/DieffenbachiamaculataReflectorHBN9016_1.jpg?v=1673571979","url":"https:\/\/enlivenplants.com.au\/products\/dieffenbachia-maculata-reflector-variegata","provider":"Enliven Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
