Dieffenbachia

Question

We have an office plant near a window with not direct light. The canes have gotten quite tall and are flopping over – are we doing something wrong? We tried to steak the canes and hold them together but its not working well.

Answer 1

This is common with too little light. You can try giving it just a small bit of direct light in the morning, or get a horticultural grade light to supplement. 100 watts will be plenty for the plant. They don't need much more than that.
