# A while back I chopped my Dieffenbachia bc it was very leggy \& top…

A while back I chopped my Dieffenbachia bc it was very leggy \& top heavy so I chose to re-root it in water. Well it’s doing amazing \& it gave me so many new babies I was able to prop them!  
Usually I would’ve taken the easy way \& simply bought a new one but this one had special sentiment so I put it in the extra work to start a new baby 🌱
