# What can I do to make my dieffenbachia crocodile plant “fuller”…

_Posted by Cathy on 2026-05-24_

What can I do to make my dieffenbachia crocodile plant “fuller” looking and not so leggy? The leaves are curled too and I wasn’t sure if I could help him in any way with that too. He sprouted 3 new leaves since buying it about 6 months ago.

I have a small Dumb Cane, Lloyd Christmas, and know that he likes to be misted once in a while. Humility is a good thing for them…one your size might like a near-by humidifier? I’m no expert, but I wonder if that will flatten out the leaves?
