좋아요 1개Oh really? What about my Dumb Cane? Toxic to me? I have no pets tho…
좋아요 1개the 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.
좋아요 1개Interesting! I’ll look into it! Didn’t notice any irritation after repotting mine…without gloves.
0개 좋아요Dieffenbachia 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.
