How to fertilize Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dieffenbachia 'Crocodile' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

😭 Accidental abuse I accidentally tore a leaf off my baby while cleaning 😭🪴 can I propagate this or is it lost to me?????

Why is my plant droopy? I water it with about a quart and a half about once every two weeks. A lot of leaves have turn yellow and fell off.

Keeping alive through the cold Hello! I am coming up on having my plants with me for a year. I have never managed to keep one alive through the winter. My house is kept rather cold, but it’s too expensive to heat otherwise. I have two plants in my bedroom- a pothos, which is doing fine, and one other (shown) that isn’t doing so well (the picture you see below is what it used to look like. It is very thin now) It’s been thinning pretty bad lately. How do I fix this and help it survive the winter?

Does anyone have tips for my dieffenbachia? I got her from downstairs when my mom told me to throw her out bc she was kinda dead. I'm too stubborn for that and now I'm trying to help her recover. I'd love to hear any tips anyone has #plantsmakepeoplehappy #planttherapy #help

When this plant first arrived it was growing and looking great. Now this - I’m wondering if it needs a bigger pot? #Dieffenbachia

I rescued this baby from the clearance rack. I have repotted, adjusted placement all over to get right amt of light, cut dead/dying leaves, water 1x week, misting once a week and it is still dying! Please help 🙏! I don't know what to do to save it 😔 #Dieffenbachia

every time I grow one of these, it gets so top-heavy! And the stalk is twice as thick at the top as it is at the bottom. If I didn’t have it tied to a broomstick with pipe cleaners, it would just fall over. What am I doing wrong? #Dieffenbachia

What happen!? I was just opening my blinds to give sunlight to my pants and find my plant like this!
-
Trying to figure out what could possibly be going on with this guy 🤔 the yellowing/browning part feels thinner than the rest of the greenery. He’s been transferred from soil to water but not sure if it’s the hydroponics since the thinning began before the transfer. Help 🥲

I don’t seen to be finding the perfect spot for Monroe. He seems sad. I tried east window, a grow light, then close to west window, now he’s hanging out on the coffee table in the den for lack of knowledge of where he needs to be. Help… #Dieffenbachia
