    Mother Inlaw's Tongue is another name for the Snake Plant.
    Also, these plants do Indeed have nodes that you can see and if you cut the stalks in sections with 2 or 3 nodes you can place them on top of the soil laying sideways and roots will grow down while a New shoot grows from one of the ends. Because of how easy it is to propagate the amount of plants you can get out of just one stalk is Amazing!
    These *Are* jungle plants so keeping the humidity and sun exposure from their native environment will serve you very well.

      Actually a lot of articles and random places online refer to them with that name! Which is the problem with common names, a lot of plants share similar ones. But cool thing about the nodes! I didn’t know that

    I'm in zone 9 Calif. I put it in part shade under the Pergola.
    It has grown and happy. In late October when the cooler temps start up, I bring inside. Never skips a beat. I clean the leafs with a moist towel then spray with an shinny oil product. Makes it look like it just came from a florist shop.
    Im very interested in all the info you're sharing.🙂👍

    Fantastic information you really know this plant. I had a couple die, so for me in my house it has to almost dry out. When I have watered before that it has simply dry rotted. Dropped leaf to leaf and died. So mine like to be watered and then almost dry out. The one I currently have is in a well-lit piano room (I moved it) with two windows and looking beautiful and doing well putting out new growth.

    I always spray my plants twice a year, once in the beginning and once in December. And always when I bring a plant inside Just in case. I two have snake plants and have seen the name Sansevieria for Dieffenbachia I also look my plants over when watering just in case of pests and as soon as I spot them outside it go's and it get's spray, another way is using vinegar (white) and water, wipe the leaves down to remove pest and Dust it cleans the leaves and removes unwonted things.

    I believe u said the camouflage is the one that I have. It had brown spots on it. Wilt and come off easily, yellowed so I moved it toward the window. It was a little dry so I watered it and water drain out at the bottom and then I emptied the tray. . When I looked at it the next day the leaves are just standing erect it looks like it likes being right in the window even though it said low light on instructions. It was 5 feet away from window. I believe this particular one likes highlight the sun doesn’t come through the window just bright light so it is just seems to be the right light. Let me know what you think? Also I cut out the dark brown spots is that ok? No bugs found. I think when I mist the plant is when I got brown spots.

    • @HelloJungleRoom
      @HelloJungleRoom  4 роки тому +1

      Yes...I’ve found that, that particular dieffenbachia really does love high light. The regular green ones (like the seguine/compacta and tropic snow) do better in lower light. As far as the cutting the brown spots, sometimes it’s okay but sometimes the leaf still might die off. But hopefully with some brighter light it’ll get better!

But the leaves do we.em to be a bit wilted. Not really yellow I think it's prob the colour it's supposed to be but maybe not far frm turning yellow. Should I water ??? Or wait. The soil doesn't seem to be wet,maybe slightly damp to where some sticks to do her not much. I wouldn't say it's fully dried out. Is this because it needs to be watered.im so worried about over watering

    • @HelloJungleRoom

      Since you just got it, it’s most likely going to go thru some shock and an acclimating period. As long as it’s getting good light and some humidity, it’ll bounce back fine. And I would wait maybe another day or two before watering. Unless the leaves start to wilt more. Good luck! You got this 💚

Since watering it this weekend there are now 5 yellowing leaves. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

      .. Dieffenbachia don't like any kind of cold or drafts.. That will make them drop yellow leafs immediately.. They like water, often, and drying out in between is not an option, only to the point of low moist.. They like humidity and a somewhat steady temperature, nothing below 16c as the lowest.. In winter time they like a bright light spot, and in summer a little more shady..

    It's not just uncomfortable. It HURTS. A lot. It starts as pin pricking, then starts really burning, and then itching and each stage is an added pain, not a switch. I haven't had blisters, but I only handled sap a few hours ago. Mouthwash helps. It's crazy, but rubbing the mouthwash into the skin is the only relief. Seriously, the topic of relief needs some real research. Either way, DO NOT HANDLE THESE PLANTS LIGHTLY. Wear gloves when doing anything with them, especially the bigger ones.

I’ve changed the soil, added pebbles, peroxide and water, alcohol, water and dish soap spray and wash leaves. I’ve tried everything, neem oil by the way smells like 💩 apple cider vinegar, dish soap and water. Now I leave bowls of water with soap in them next to all the plants and every week I see about 20-30 gnats in 2 of the bowls and few in the other bowls around the house. Help!!

    • @HelloJungleRoom

      Aw I’m so sorry! Gnats are really hard to deal with. I would suggest doing the hydrogen mix (equal parts of hydrogen and water) at least once a month on all your plants, get some of those yellow fungus gnat traps and put them in as many pots as you can and start watering your plants with mosquito bits! You can even mix the bits in your soil which helps a lot but they do get a little moldy. I just poke them down back in. You just have to stay consistent. Good luck 💚
