Q.One Of My Pets Has Eaten Halfway Through The Lowest Point My Dieffenbachia’s Stem. How Can I Repair The Stem To Ensure The Plant

Zone L5M 7E2 | Anonymous added on April 18, 2022 | Answered

continues to remain healthy? Currently, the plant is in great health. It is approximately 42 years old and has extreme sentimental value. Thus, I am seeking any/all alternatives/tips to ensure it’s survival. On a side note, I think it was my dog who chewed on it, has not done it since and my dog did not suffer any health issues. Thank you in advance for any help provided.

I suggest cutting it off near a node above the chewed part and rooting it for a new plant.
