I have no idea what this plant is called. Any help is appreciated! I have had it for about 4 years. It's getting way too tall and keeps falling over (my son had to hold it up for the pic). When my aunt gave it to me, it was only a foot or two high. Can I just cut it down to about 2 feet tall and will it just grow new leaves from there? I'm afraid to hurt it because it's such a tolerant plant and deals well with my watering forgetfullness! And if I can't cut it down, how big of a pot should it be in? It's about 6 feet tall. Could it possibly live well outside if it's always been a houseplant? THANK YOU!!!
Hello , Your plant looks like "Dumb Cane " Dieffenbachia . It is very tolerant of forgettful waterers . Actually should be allowed to become somewhat dry between waterings . Check out this link for more info. http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/houseplants/types/dieffenbachia.html
