dieffenbachia amoena


Question
Hello,

I would like to know how tall can a dieffenbachia amoena can grow, mine was to high for my flat so I moved it to a greenhouse in a botanical garden. It is now more than 13 feet high.  It was very hard for me to move it, but I didn't want to cut it and wanted to let it grow as high as it wants.

Do you know how do they grow in Brazil, how tall can they be?

Thanks in advance,
Sam

Answer
Thats a pretty big dumb cane! in its natural habitat it grows under a canopy and can get twice that high, but for a house planted species that is a very happy specimen; congrats to you!  Dumb Canes love the humid, jungle like environment of the rainforest of Brazil and need to be grown under similar conditions to really prosper.
