I have this dieffenbachia I’ve had for a long time. Spider mites got him and it dropped a lot of bottom leaves. I want to propagate him. I want to get rid of all the long stems so the plant looks healthy again. Can I cut the stems, use root stimulater and set in water to root? Has anyone had luck with one?

    Mine grew so tall and stalky that it accidentally got cut In half. I seriously was freaking out but stuck it in water and the top survived and started growing roots. The bottom stalk I just left in the vase that it was in and finally it grew leaves!!! So yes it works!
