About Dumbcane Tropic Snow
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. 🐝

How to fertilize Dumbcane Tropic Snow

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 Dumbcane Tropic Snow after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pray For Me One(1) my sisters finalized her divorce in November. She hosted The Day of Thanks dinner at her house. She's always been in love with my Dieffenbachias sooooo I blessed her with one(1) when I went down. I was back home this weekend, visiting my parents... I go over to visit my sister and dayyum near got in a fight! Picture 1 is "Snowy" on the way to its new home in November. Picture 2 is "Snowy" on the way back to my home, never to leave again! IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN TWO(2) MONTHS, #greggers!!! 🤦🏽♀️ ** My mom, when she sees Snowy after I left my sister's house: "Weeeeell... Shelia never was a plant person, she used to kill mine when y'all were growing up, I stopped letting her help Me." You couldn't tell Me that BEFORE I left my plantbaby?!? 🤦🏽♀️🙄🤦🏽♀️ #dieffenbachia #dumbcane

My leaf tips are browning and curling. I don’t think it’s over watering because the pot has good drainage #Dieffenbachia

Bought her a new pot and plant food, also misted her after I got off work ❤️ #Dieffenbachia

I've been nursing this one back to life for a while and it finally seems stable but it hasn't grown a new leaf in maybe two months? Not sure what else I can do to promote new growth #Dieffenbachia

Help? A combination of my own issues has fueled my personal unease regarding my houseplants. I need a pragmatic voice amidst my delirium. Is this truly a plant on the verge of death, or am I overreacting? I’ve already asked around and, with help, determined that this plant is overwatered. But I recently flipped out over a pest infestation from another plant supposedly spreading to this one—not sure what led me to that conclusion; it was late at night. Is it a reasonable suspicion that he has a pest, or was I in a tizzy? His top two large leaves (pictured in the first photo) have been “drooping,” but I’m considering the possibility that the two smaller leaves emerging from the same stem are forcing the larger ones to grow more lopsidedly. Are they actually drooping from a problematic cause, or is it a product of the new growth? #Dieffenbachia

This plant is the only one of my plants that I just can’t seem to make happy… any tips? I’m wondering if the pot is too small which leads the soil to dry out too quickly? #Dieffenbachia

I missed #FreshLeafFriday because of work, and I had so many fresh leaves this week! 🤣 So I’m sharing them anyway. 1. My #Dieffenbachia Tiki made this beauty 2. #AlocasiaFrydek variegated insists on producing white leaves constantly, which is probably why we can’t get past 2 leaves at any time. But usually she kills off the older leaf soon after the new one appears, so I fear the beautiful green one (3) is not long for this world. Side note: anyone know how to make this cycle stop? I’ve heard Frydeks can be like this. 4. Newest leaf on my #AlocasiaPinkDragon 5. #FicusRuby finally produced a new leaf after probably 9 months… meanwhile my ficus burgundy is so big, and pops out two leaves simultaneously every few weeks. 🙃 But yay happy for Ruby’s pretty new leaf! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #AlocasiaAddicts #Ficus #babevila

What other plant parents say








I started my dieffenbachia from a stem cutting a year ago (2020). I put it in water placed it near a lamp with a full spectrum bulb. It grew roots very quickly! I potted it once the roots were big enough. Since then it’s taken off like wildfire! Each new leaf is larger than the other. I love it! Note: Yes, it’s low light TOLERANT, but leaves will grow larger with some sunshine.
