Flowering dieffenbachia after five years! I’ve had this buddy for a while and it is back and happier than ever. I didn’t realize this guy could flower. So cute!

Are dieffenbachia difficult to care for? We've got a couple at work and I've been loving to look at them but never had one before and if a plant is finicky, I try not to bring it home cause....they usually just die.

Not difficult but very temperamental. When the seasons change, we get long periods of green only leaves. I like these brighter leaves, even though the plant still is not 100% happy (look at the dry tips) 😂 it’s easy to propagate into smaller happy plants too
