   hi there,
   
   If you have house plants in your home, there is a very good chance that one or more of them is a dieffenbachia plant, sometimes known as dumb cane.
   
   
   **Tips & Warnings**
   
       
         USE STERILE INSTRUMENTS, STERILE POTTING SOIL AND WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN WHEN HANDLING DIEFFENBACHIA PLANTS!
       
         Keep your cuttings in an area where the temperature is pretty constantly 65-70 degrees.
       
         The sap of the dieffenbachia plant is poison. If you have small children or pets, ALWAYS be mindful of where your plant is placed. It MUST be out of reach.
       
         ALWAYS wash your hands after handling a dieffenbachia plant. Even a very small amount of sap on your tongue can cause your throat to close up and you could suffocate.
       
   
         Cleanliness is essential when propagating any plants, so use a sterile knife to make your cuttings.
   
   
   bye
