# So I’ve had this diffenbachia for a few years \& she’s gotten so tall…

_Posted by Lili on 2023-06-15_

So I’ve had this diffenbachia for a few years \& she’s gotten so tall \& keeps pushing out new leaves I don’t like how she looks with the stakes in but if I don’t she just flops. I recently repotted her \& the roots are healthy, also no sign of pests. I’ve heard it’s just a thing with these but I was wondering if y’all have any suggestions.

It may be a little less… bare, if you can sterilize some sticks and maybe cover them with moss and stuff. That will at least make it a bit more interesting. Don’t know if that helps.

That’s a good idea! Thank you :)

I think it’s etiolated.

This is what I thought at first but I don’t think so anymore 😩
