Watering Schedule – Once a week

The watering frequency for a Leopard Lily (Dieffenbachia Compacta) indoor plant depends on various factors such as the size of the pot, humidity levels, and temperature. However, as a general rule, it is recommended to water the plant once a week during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce the frequency to once every two weeks during the dormant season (fall and winter). It is important to ensure that the soil is moist but not waterlogged, and to allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it is important to monitor the plant’s moisture levels and adjust the watering frequency accordingly.
