Dieffenbachia grows best indoors as it needs moderate temperatures and humid environments. If you can’t provide these consistent conditions outside then you should keep it indoors, where you have greater control over the growing environments. Keep it in a shady spot and away from any doors or windows, which might cause draughts.

Dieffenbachia needs partial shade or diffused sunlight to grow well. This plant can tolerate full shaded conditions, but its best if you can find a spot for it where it receives a small amount of indirect lights.
