    Hello,new to the forums and have a question about a houseplant I received a few years ago in a funeral arrangement. It stayed as one stem and just a couple leaves for about 5 years,the last 2 years it has grown so fast and gotten so heavy it cant hold itself upright anymore. I am wondering what it is,how big of a pot I should have it in,and what support system I should give it,or just let it hang.

    Thank you,
    Jennifer

    Dieffenbachia amoena cv. avoid sunlight outdoors.
    Indoors it appreciates some sun to keep stems sturdy.

    Thank you Saltcedar.

    Would anyone know the best way to split this plant or best method to support it?
