Brighten up that dim corner of your home or office.
Just like most tropical houseplants, dieffenbachia plants like warm, humid spots in your home or office. Watch for brown tips or edges on the leaves, this will tell you the plant needs more humidity. It will tolerate low-light spots but likes to be in medium light. Make sure to water regularly but don’t soak the soil.
Bright light, no direct sun. Give the plant a quarter turn every few days to expose all sides to sunlight and encourage even growth.
Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry out a bit between watering. Drooping leaves on dieffenbachia plants indicates it’s too dry.
Dieffenbachia houseplants love peat moss-based potting mix with added perlite to allow good drainage.

Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
