Dumb Cane 'Reflector'
About Dumb Cane 'Reflector'
Dieffenbachia was cultivated in England before 1759 and upper Amazon indigenous groups are known to have used their calcium oxalates to make poison arrows. Dieffenbachia flowers can generate large amounts of excess heat which botanists believe attracts potential pollinators to the flower's warmth. š

A client gave me some cuttings from his dieffenbachia. They were pretty thin. But I rooted them in water for a few weeks until they got some sturdy roots. I finally put them into soil yesterday. Hereās to hoping that they will grow big and strong like their big brother Dieter. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Dieffenbachia

Help! #Dieffenbachia Can anyone diagnose my dumb cane plant? 2 weeks ago, the leaves turned yellow with brown fringing, I've cut the worst of the leaves and there are new shoots in their place. I think my dumb cane has root rot. Do I need to repot? What should I look for when buying new soil?
