dieffenbachia 'milky way' - toxic to people and pets so handle with gloves!
いいね 1件Oh really? What about my Dumb Cane? Toxic to me? I have no pets tho…
いいね 1件the dieffenbachia got the name "dumb cane" for its ability to cause intense pain and numbness when swallowed, making you unable to talk (it has a dark history i'll let you research on your own). additionally, it can cause skin irritation, so gloves are generally recommended.
いいね 1件Interesting! I’ll look into it! Didn’t notice any irritation after repotting mine…without gloves.
0件のいいねDieffenbachia are also called dumb cane. I think if you chew it (for some unknown reason) your tongue goes numb. Don’t know if this is an old wives tail, but that’s what I’ve heard.
