The propagation of the Dieffenbachia is very easy
The propagation of Dieffenbachia is quite straightforward
Dieffenbachien are among the evergreens on the windowsill, as they are easy to maintain, vigorous awake and very attractive. Also, the propagation is not difficult and succeeds by cuttings or division even persons without a green thumb easily. Keep in mind, however, that the Dieffenbachia is poisonous in all parts and avoid skin contact.
Propagation by cuttings
Propagation with head, shoot and stem cuttings is possible:
Insert cuttings or Kindel
Proceed as follows:
Trunk cuttings are placed in planters so that the eyes are facing upwards. A translucent hood also supports the shoot. Leaves quickly grow from buds, roots develop on the underside.
Most of the offshoots drive fresh green already after four weeks. Then remove the hood and cultivate the small plantlets on the windowsill.
Alternatively, you can place head cuttings in a water-filled vase and then plant them in soil when roots have formed
Propagation by division
Strongly grown Dieffenbachien you can share when repotting in the spring and multiply in this way.
Put the individual plant parts back into commercially available potting soil. The division succeeds even with too large become hydroponic plants, which can be set either in soil or expanded clay, easily.
sowing
If your Dieffenbachie flower, you can harvest seeds from the rather inconspicuous, white flowers. These are placed in water for one night and then scattered on seed soil. Cover the substrate with a thin layer and place a cover over the culture container.
Place this in a warm place on the windowsill, the temperature should be at least 22 degrees all day. Unfortunately, even then, the seeds do not always germinate, as the mother plants are often hybrids.
Tips
If you have to cut a Dieffenbachia grown too large, this is the ideal time to win numerous cuttings.
