- You came for me last time, so I'm back with what you asked for. I had to wait for my plants to grow in order to film myself harvesting these dieffenbachia babies! Hope this is helpful :)

Do you like my voice? Let me read you a bedtime story and become my Patreon subscriber. Just kidding, I do not have one ...but should I? What's next, foot pics???! Don't get me started on my bunions. ***EDIT: So far, I've only had 1 person take me up on this bunion viewing offer (shout out to mister Rob Smith), but that's not enough to start a Patreon. This offer is going once... going twice... ***EDIT2: So Mr. Botanibabies says I need to stop with the bunion talk :(...

You answered all of my questions! Thank you for the informative video 😊
Thanks so much for watching :)!
Great video! This is super helpful, I didn’t realize these naturally propagate this way. 😊
Ebony Nicole i didn’t either! I learned by accident when I repotted it the first time 😂.
I have recently discovered your channel, I'm loving your videos, theyve been very helpful! I have recently acquired a few new houseplants that I really want to keep alive lol so I'll definitely be subscribing!
Jordan Fender I am so happy to hear that!! ❤️
Thank you for this!!! I wasn't watering my plant enough and it was loosing so many lower leave :( I felt so bad seeing all those beautiful leaves dying.
Hi Erika, I'm glad this was helpful! :) Hopefully your plant is now on the mend
Thank you for mentioning about the soil. I feel bad about using a potting mix only! Now, I feel better!
You are so welcome! Our hobbies can't involve too much work, otherwise it may no longer be enjoyable :)
True!
Lots of info love it thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching :)
I'm going ton harvest mine. Too cute.
So beautiful plant s
Really helpful video. Love and support from india
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the support :)
Thanks for this video, I wasn't aware that you could propagate this plant so easily, I have two of them and now I will look at this plant differently and if mine gets big enough and has some babies I will propagate and either make it fuller or make another new plant. thank s again. I hope that you have a great week, sending hugs and love bye for now.
Holly Hasegawa Nielson yes, it’s totally easy! Thank you Holly, I hope you’re staying safe ❤️❤️❤️. If I remember correctly, you’re in Idaho, right? How are things over there? It’s kinda nuts here in Seattle. I have been practicing social distancing since the 80s lol, so I don’t mind being holed up at home.
@@Botanibabies Yes, I'm in Idaho, and it's nuts here as well, I work in a grocery store so I get to experience first hand a lot of the stupid crazy people, the ones that have hoarded so much toilet paper they will never use it in their life times, and paper towels and wipes and water, canned goods, meats, all assortments of stupid. I just want it to end, those of us that really do need to shop for the normal things sometimes can't because of all the hoarding going on. I am staying safe and healthy just want the maddness to end. Thanks again.
Holly Hasegawa Nielson ugh, I’m so sorry. You’re in the front line of all that madness. People act like complete idiots and my heart goes out to the ones that really need all these things. I am really hoping by some miracle it will end soon ☹️. Please take care of yourself Holly ❤️❤️❤️!
@@Botanibabies Thank you I'm trying.
Thanks for the video. Exactly what I was looking for. I subscribed lol
I was wondering how/if you can take babies off from the stem, rather than from out of the soil. But for now, you showed me just what I needed
Thanks for subscribing, Jay!! Really appreciate it :). I actually have not done that myself. Ive seen some videos of other people doing it, so it does root. I haven't personally done so, because I want it to grow super tall :). Let me know how yours turns out if you decide to cut yours :) - good luck!
Currently own Tropical Snow, Camouflage and a plant friend of mine just ordered me a Reflector.
Ooh, I've never heard of that variety and had to look it up. Very cool pattern on the leaves!
I use miracle grow too lol hell yea to lazy ladies 🙌😉
LOL cheers to that! if it takes too much effort, then it can no longer be a hobby for me...
Hi! I’m new here, I just bought one it’s not doing well thank you for sharing
Hi Tuyet, welcome!! I'm sorry to hear about your plant, I hope the info on this video can help :(
Haven't heard you in forever!! Hiiii
Hi there! I have been posting regularly every week, but my videos are not showing up in peoples’ feeds unfortunately 😢.
@@Botanibabies Bummer! Well I'll have to check Insta more, I guess!!
I have a dumb cane plant that’s more stem than leaves and it’s touching my ceiling. Would it be ok to cut most of the stem off so that it’s not as tall and replant it?
Absolutely! I have never done this myself, but know that it is possible. That's actually how to propagate most plants. Please be sure to keep enough leaves on the remaining plant, however, as it still needs leaves to survive. You'll want to then place your cutting in water and wait for it to develop roots (about 2" +) before transplanting it to soil. Mine is not tall enough to do this with, which is why I haven't tried it using this method :(. Good luck!
Thank you Botsnibabies...
Awesome Video. What number on your meter do you water this plant? Thank you so much for sharing.
I usually will water whenever it hits red for most my plants since I only use it on ones that are in pots with no drainage hole. Hope that helps!
So this is my plant now. she hasn't grown much since I bought her a few months ago. She has 1 or 2 new leaves but I don't see a great improvement and I have her away from the window but in a bright Sunny Room. My living room has a Southeastern facing window. What should I do should I propagate her or put her in a smaller pot because this is the grower's pot and it looks pretty big? I have to send you pics if you have a websitta
Hi Heather! Is it currently root bound in the pot you have it in? If it’s growing slowly, I recommend moving it closer to the window so that it can get direct sun light. I’ve had that same experience with it not growing much until I put it closer to the window. This plant also gets spider mites easily, so I would inspect the plant closely, because pests are something to consider as well. Good luck with your plant ❤️🪴! You can send me pics on Instagram @botanibabies206
Do you need to harvest the babies? I would love mine to be nice and bushy but I have only seen them with one stalk. I LOVE the bushy fullness of aglaonemas, can I get them same from a dieffenbachia?
Hi Lisa, not necessary to harvest the babies. I was just a little greedy and wanted more plants at the time lol. Dieffenbachias can certainly appear bushier if you leave the babies and or if you have a tall one with 1 stalk, you can chop it so that it will grow bushier. I have not done that myself, but I’ve seen photos of ones that get bushier when chopped 🤓
Yes, I do wash my hands after handling the plant, especially cuttings. That's because of the sap, though, not the corona.
very helpful video thank u.can u pls tell me im giving only water.what more can i give for dark of leaves? thank u 😊
Hi there, thank you so much for watching :). I'm not sure I understand the question. Is it that you are looking to increase the variegation of the plant? If that's the case, I would move it into a sunnier spot. Hope that helps.
thank you i understand 🌹
Miss you (Jan 2, 2022)
Hi Ruth! Miss you too! Thank you so much for thinking of me ❤️. Hope you are doing well! I was thinking about making a video on my cylindrica sansevieria since it’s flowering, would you believe that?! It took me by surprise!
Can this plant survive in water without soil in indoor room?
Hi Aboi, I'm actually not sure. I've never tried to water propagate this plant. I have tried to keep myself from cutting this, because I do want it to grow taller.
How do make my dumb cane turn around
May I know the name of this variety?
Hello Nhor! It is a dieffenbachia or commonly known as "dumb cane"
I think this is diffenbachia compacta
Have you ever gotten a skin irritation from touching the plant so much?
I was plucking off some of the aging leaves and got some of the "juice" of the leaves on my thumbs which I then found to get itchy for like half a day =|
