Abbotsford BCQ.dieffenbachia baby
My dieffenbachia baby was propagated off of the tall, spindly plant and now the baby is turning into a tall, spindly plant. The baby's stock is only a half inch in diameter. It has two leaves with one new one started. How do I create a thicker stem? Right now it is healthy and only about 10 inches high.

Some the tips on some of the leaves have turned brown. Is that too much water?
- Answered by

December 17, 2015A.If the soil is soggy, this is to much water.
The first inch or so of the soil should be dry before watering again.
Make sure the pot has a adequate drainage.
You also can try using distilled water or let the water sit out for 48 hours before watering the plant with. The salts from conditioned water can build up in the soil and cause the plant to have blackened leaf tips.

2428Q.Indoor plant
Does the water that drips off the leaves of dieffenbachia plant harm a laquered floor? Thanks Christine
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
December 17, 2015A.The droplets are the byproduct of transpiration--the excess water from the plant.
It likely contains some sap from the plant. I would certainly be safe and move the plant to another area or place it on a tray that would protect your floor.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/dumb-cane/growing-dumbcane-dieffenbachia.htm
