Dieffenbachia bowmannii

New shoot growing. 14-Oct-16

Lovely leaf detail 💚💚💚

I take it your plants quite like air conditioning in your home, it looks very nice👌🏼👒

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Yeah they need air conditioning especially when it's 125 degrees outside. This one is fast becoming my favorite.

@zeeshan Wow! that's hot, my husband does business there so I understand. The plant is beautiful 👒

@gjones Dates, watermelons and some vegetables.

Thanks @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

New shoot growing.

#dieffenbachia #foliage

This is one plant that does not love me...but I love it...it dies every time...

@blasome Lost one bottom leaf a couple of days ago. Another one is fading. This new shoot is encouraging though.

Hope she survive for you

This leaf of #dumbcane has suddenly turned pale.

Has it caught some direct sun? If not it's probably just an old one

No direct sun light. Let's see.

As its a low leaf I wouldn't be worried

@slj Over a period of four weeks I have lost three leaves exactly the same way. All three were the lowest leaves one after the other. One new leaf grew during this time. Is this still normal?

I have lost two on mine too I would just water less maybe. I think mine may have been older as I have knew foliage too

@slj Thanks a lot for advice and patience as I keep on bothering you.

Your welcome to bother me anytime, we can learn together and watch each other's successes and failures, I have plenty of failures I will share more of them 😊

@slj When you say water less do you mean water less often or water less in quantity? Because since I have this plant I have never watered it to the extent that water came out of the holes in the bottom. I just wait until the top 2 inches are completely dry and then water enough only to make the soil moist. Is it ok to do it this way?

Sounds perfect to me. I mean as the winter comes just less often

@slj Got it. Thanks a lot.

This is a dumb cane or Diffenbachia 😊 careful not to get its crystals on your hans they can make you quite ill

Oh really? Thanks. @slj
