I have a Dieffenbachia Tropic Snow since the mid "70's" and its been topped off and sprouted in water and replanted several times sucessfully. I have recently topped it off and heads are sprouting well in water. I've also cut some of the cane back and have 12 sprouting in pots.
I have 2 questions;
1- in the original pot i still have 4' foot canes that have started to re-sprout, about 1"inch out now. "CAN I CUT BACK THE TOPS WITH SPOUTS ABOUT ANOTHER 12" and resprout? Or will it be too much shock for the plant growing from both ends?
2- over the years my Diefs cane have reduced in diameter...
How can i grow bigger cane? They used to be up to about 4" in diam and now they barely grow to 3" inches ??
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thank you for this great website !!!
