My well water has flouride and lime in it – bad for diffenbachia?
June 16, 2020 at 3:52 pm ReplyWater with salt, chlorine, flouride, etc isn’t ideal not only for dieffenbachia but most of the plants if not all. The said minerals can build up in the soil which will eventually lead to leaves to turn brown and worse, to burn. Like tap water, there are two ways to solve to handle this: either use a filtration system or just leave the water in an open container for a few hours before watering your plants.

Loving the season!
