How to divide the large-leafed Dieffenbachia into pots so that it can survive easily

When is the best time to divide the big-leafed Dieffenbachia into pots?

If the large-leafed Dieffenbachia is growing vigorously, it is best to divide it into pots in spring and autumn. The environment at this time is suitable and the survival rate is high after division.

The correct method of dividing the pot of Dieffenbachia macrophylla

Prepare a larger flowerpot for the large-leafed Dieffenbachia in advance, then fill it with water-permeable and loose soil, take the plant out of the original flowerpot, straighten it with your hands and plant it in it. After completion, water the newly potted plant thoroughly, place it in a cool place and wait for the plant to adapt, and it can be maintained after a period of time.

Knock the large-leafed Dieffenbachia plant out of the original pot, cut off the new sprouts from the rhizome with a sharp knife, apply some wood ash on the wound, plant 4-5 seedlings per clump in a new pot, water it slightly, place it in a shaded place, and water it thoroughly after 1-2 days.

Precautions for transplanting Dieffenbachia macrophylla

After transplanting the broad-leafed Dieffenbachia, make sure to place it in a cool place to allow the seedlings to grow for a few days before resuming normal management. However, fertilization should be done after more than a month.

What kind of soil to use: The culture soil for the large-leafed Dieffenbachia can be leaf mold, river sand, garden soil and a small amount of decomposed base fertilizer. The pH value is required to be between 6 and 6.5.

How to deal with wilting: If the roots of the large-leafed Dieffenbachia are damaged when it is divided into pots, it will definitely wilt for a few days. Remember to spray it with water more often and place it in a shaded place, and it will recover.
