Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In winter, reduce watering frequency, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Dieffenbachia seguine to maintain its shape or to remove yellowing or dead leaves. Cut stems just above a leaf node using a clean, sharp knife or shears. This also encourages bushier growth.

Pruning can be done at any time of year, but is best in spring.

Propagate Dumb Cane from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings with at least two nodes. Remove lower leaves and plant them in moist potting mix or suspend them over water.

Roots will form in a few weeks, after which they can be potted into their own containers.

Repot your Dumb Cane every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in the spring before the active growing season begins.
