Propagating Dieffenbachia by Cane Cuttings: Keep Together in One Pot

Rooting Dumb Cane Cane Cuttings Successfully

Pam laid 4 cane cuttings on soil in a 4-inch pot, sealed in a plastic bag. Three are sprouting. She asks about transplanting and removing the bag.

Advice

• Leave them together – they'll make a fuller plant. No need to separate.
• Remove bag gradually – open over a week to acclimate.
• No fertilizer yet – wait until well-rooted and growing.

Cane cuttings (leafless stem sections) and stem cuttings (with leaves) both work well for Dieffenbachia.
