I wouldn't bet on seeing anything that looked like a leaf within a month, though. I couldn't think of any plants that I <i>would</i> bet on within that time frame, either, though you can do the same thing with stems/canes from <i>Aglaonema</i>, <i>mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-6347628883433874542017-03-04T22:21:45.003-08:002017-03-04T22:21:45.003-08:00How long did it take for a few leaves to emerge li...How long did it take for a few leaves to emerge like in your pics?

I first received a cutting in 1990 and have been propagating it ever since. If you use the cane method make sure it is covered with soil/perlite to 1-2 inches. This method has only worked for me in the Spring and Summer. My plant will grow to 17ft and is not full like some of the newer hybrids, so I top it, dip the end in growth Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-91511733355656181642011-12-11T06:21:57.287-08:002011-12-11T06:21:57.287-08:00Dieffenbachia is very moisture sensetive.
