Tall Dieffenbachia. Dieffenbachia are evergreen plants with leaves that are patterned green and white. You can aggressively prune to keep a dieffenbachia short and bushy and prevent it from getting too tall.
Cut anywhere along the main stem preferably above a leaf node a leaf node is the small bump on the stem from which new leaves grow. It can grow as tall as 10 feet. Dieffenbachia grows best in partial shade and prefers a warm temperature range.
They are generally green with splashes or blotches of creamy white although cultivars have expanded the palette to include yellow.
Another false belief about dieffenbachia s is that they need very little light. It is a flowering plant that originated in the tropical forests of south america. It can grow to a maximum of three feet tall. Cutting the dieffenbachia plant back properly encourages a fresh flush of new fuller growth that prevents the stem from becoming too tall and weak.
