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. 🐝

This guy has always been droopy... #Dieffenbachia I don't know what's wrong with him. I've tried to water more, then less and so on. He's been growing his new leaf for a year or so now. Just recently lost a bottom leaf that sorta curled up and went yellow... I dunno what to do. Any help is appreciated! #helpneeded

Hello all! I received these cuttings from a family member on March 30th. After potting and watering the cuttings, I’m noticing yellow leaves. Should I cut the yellow leaves, and just let it grow? #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #Dieffenbachia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
