Question
20 years ago I was working in Falmouth and my boss gave me a cool plant cutting (it was 4' long at the time). I really doubt it's from Cape Cod, but so far nobody has identified it, and every 5-6 years the lower leaves yellow, it gets too long and I have to cut the stalks. Any thoughts???!! I need to understand how to keep this beauty alive and well.
Answer
Dear Scottuhc, your plants looks like a species of Dieffenbachia, a group of plants native (primarily) to South America. These species belong to the Araceae (arum family). Good luck with your care of this plant!
