Keep temperatures above 55 degrees, ideally 60 to 75 degrees during the day and 60 to 65 degrees at night. As the plant ages, the lower leaves fall off. Do not expose Dumbcane to cold drafts. If repotting is necessary, do so in February. The sap will cause intense discomfort if eaten.
Propagation is by cane cuttings, stem tip cuttings or air layering done in spring or early summer.
