# So my Dieffenbachia has always had a “droopy” look to it, but my SIL…

_Posted by Caitlyn on 2023-08-19_

So my Dieffenbachia has always had a “droopy” look to it, but my SIL who gave it to me when it was a little guy says it looks like it’s dying. But it’s always looked this way, it still grows a new leaf every couple of weeks. And it’s leaves are always green. But just wondering if anyone else has one that looks droopy?

It’s possible insufficient lighting. The plant is leggy as well as drooping. It lacks the lush look and large leaves of one seen in the stores. The succulent below is leggy as well. It’s reaching for fight. Add a grow light, increase humidity and see if it improves.

Agree, needs more light.
