    You can cut off a Dumb Cane that has become to tall to support itself.
    You need to wear gloves, as the sap is a skin irritant. Remove no more then 1/3 of the plants leaves.
    Make a cut on the stem at 45 degrees 1/4 inch above a leaf node, these are the brown rings on the plant stem.
    New growth will began at this point.
    The remaining stem cuttings can be also propagated into new plants.
