Help! I have a Dieffenbachia and when I got it from my SIL it was a baby, and now it’s about 7feet tall. It’s basically a tree at this point. And pretty soon it won’t fit in my house haha. How can I propagate it? Or can I?

Chop the top off and pot it in soil. That’s what my Mom does. Hers is HUGE

Propagate the stem too. I just cut the top off mine and put it in the soil with a little rooting hormone. Then I cut the remaining stem into 6 inch pieces and put them in a jar of water. The pieces already have roots and it’s only been a week! I’m going to grow several with the cuttings. Happy Gardening!👍🏼
