| That one may not like the heavy, dark soil as much as the Syngonium. Keep this one much more dry. Is there a new stem of plain green leaves coming up? |

| Years ago folks called it dumb cane (bad name) not politically correct. As mentioned above is toxic. What it did as I was informed, was affect the nerves in the tongue so the person would be unable to speak/swallow for some time. I use to have some but with grandchild, granny freaked out and gave them away! But anything with color and especially with varigation I love. |

| It's only poisonous if you eat it, and I think most people wash their hands if exposed to the sap, to be sure not to accidentally spread it to mouth or nose. A lot of house plants are poisonous. |
