White Etna Dieffenbachia
About White Etna Dieffenbachia
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 White Etna Dieffenbachia
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 White Etna Dieffenbachia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This plant can't be stopped What's it going to do. Will it just keep putting out bigger and bigger leaves? Should I let it lay down? It was like one leaf when I got it. Now it's humongous! #Dieffenbachia

My dumb cane has gotten so spindly. Is that normal? Can I do anything about it? #Dieffenbachia

Advice please This is my first time growing plants. I bought my dumb cane a couple months ago and I was wondering if anyone could identify what type it is? Also should it be a light green/yellow in the centre? Thanks #Dieffenbachia

Propagating the plant #Dieffenbachia I repotted this in a bigger pot and separated one plant with roots and potted in the old pot. Few days later it was bend and mushy. I removed the mushy part and let it dry my question is can the branch be propagated in water? Can I just add root and small stem in soil and can it grow?

Any recommendations as to why my dieffenbachia leaf as in the picture is dying? #Dieffenbachia
