Teri Tripp-Lanciault on Apr 23, 2014That is not a dieffenbachia. I believe it is an arrowhead plant, or sygonium popdphyllum. Dieff's have large,elongated leaves with tapered ends that are beautiful but toxic if ingested. And for some reason, are the one houseplant I have never been able to keep alive! :-)Helpful Reply

Lauri Arends on Apr 23, 2014peppeoma, arrow head likes medium light and moist environment. Peppeoma dislike damp feet so needs to have well drained soil and lots of air movement. If I am recognizing them correctly.??Helpful Reply

Darwin on Apr 23, 2014Nepthytus, 2 different varigations, medium light. This can be grown in hanging basket, or 6 " pot as a cascading plant. Water well and let it go to the dry side.Helpful Reply

Teri Tripp-Lanciault on Apr 24, 2014@Lauri Arends they are not peperomia There are several varieties of peperomia but these are not among them. (if you google it and go to IMAGES you can see the varieties). They are both definitely arrow head plants. I used to have a huge peperomia that was glorious...and I went away for a few days in winter, the temp PLUNGED and y furnace crapped out. I lost it, and 32 other plants....one of which was given to my mother -in-law upon the birth of my husband. I can still feel the sting of all that!Helpful Reply

Joe Holton on Apr 25, 2014Caladiums...Helpful Reply

Nancy Hinds on Apr 25, 2014Yes, both are Nepthytis (aka arrowhead) The cuttings can be rooted in water and can be kept in water with a little fertilizer...In soil, they do not like wet feet...Water, drain, then water again and drain... You will figure out their watering needs as it gets bigger. If it becomes leggy with leaf drop, take cuttings and place in water in a bright light area to root. Also, not a good plant for terrariums... Find a good plant list on Google for terrariums. I used to make them when I worked at a nursery...Helpful Reply

Darwin on Apr 25, 2014Not mother-in-law plants, not caladiums, that is a bulb. Lots of erroneous informationHelpful Reply

Teri Tripp-Lanciault on Apr 26, 2014@Darwin, the reference to Mother-in-law plant was about a different plant. But you are right....NOT caladium. It was established early on that they are arrow headsHelpful Reply
