I have a pet Dieffenbachia Perfection Compacta which I am very close to for sentimental reasons. Unfortunately, its leaves are turning yellow or brown and looking rather unhealthy. I have been watering it once to twice per week, rather thoroughly. It is in indirect sun all day, and the apartment goes between 65 and 75 degrees. For the last several weeks I have been giving it a plant fertilizer in recommended doses. The instructions say bright to medium light, diffused sun to partial shade. Allow to dry down between thorough waterings, min temp 60 degrees. Use potting mix. I feel like I'm following directions, but dandy (the plant) doesn't. Any suggestions?
