Dumb Cane Losing When Gaining Leaves

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Hi! My dumb cane is healthy and we have a good water, light, and temp routine (or at least I think we do!), but every time a new leaf is blooming at the top, the bottom most mature leaf on the stalk yellows and falls off.

If there isn’t a leaf blooming on top everything is great! It’s been growing a lot this season though so it’s getting leggy because the biggest leaves filling out the bottom are shedding off in exchange for the new growth at the top. Anyone else have this happen or is this normal and I just don’t know enough?

It‘s currently in a 10”w x 12”h pot with drainage holes, doesn’t appear root bound, and there is one large stalk with two smaller ones all together in the pot. The shedding of leaves for new growth happens on all three stalks.

It’s looking anemic despite the new growth so I’m sad.

Thanks!
