It almost… _Postat av Amy den 2023-07-05_ I got this plant about 2 months ago and it was striving! It almost look fake, I repotted it into too big of a pot so it’s starting to wilt. I was wondering if you guys could figure out what type of plant this little one is and what can help with it rotting! There’s also a TON of tiny little flying bugs. I’m just about to trim down some of the dead leaves but I’m really wanting to know the type of plant it is! ![Bilaga 1 av 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mWgnG_XxFjoTtcs4zg1o_IBFTtpA6NQPOrz8yfTVCQs/2c21b0fb3063470896c995e32c895e87.webp?size=large) ## 6 kommentarer ### clo ☁️🪴🫶🏻 kommenterade den 2023-07-05 definitely seems like a dumbcane dieffenbachia! 🫶🏻 ### mo kommenterade den 2023-07-05 sounds like root rot i would repot in smaller pot and cut off any dead roots. and when u have bare roots with zero dirt on them spray in hydrogen peroxide lightly to stop spread of rot #### Rhonda svarade den 2023-07-05 And fungus gnat if that’s what the little flying insects are ### GreenLeaf kommenterade den 2023-07-07 These guys are happy being somewhat root bound. Don’t be fooled by the leaf size, keeping it in a smaller pot is a good way to ensure it doesn’t stay soggy. Mine is almost 2 ft tall and in a 12” pot and he his thriving! I water when he’s 1/2-3/4 dry. I’ve also heard they’re fairly easy to propagate if the rot has progressed too far for the roots to be saved. But I haven’t attempted it yet. Good luck! They are stunning plants as they grow. #### GreenLeaf svarade den 2023-07-07 12 CM pot not 12 inches! This woke me up. ### Amy kommenterade den 2023-07-08 Thank you everyone! --- _Planta-communityn (https://getplanta.com). Läsning är öppen för alla.
