If you can’t see the picture, folks, click on the white square. I’m venturing Dieffenbachia. But I have trouble distinguishing that from Aglaeonoma.

Thank you both so much.
Definitely looks more like the diffenbachia.

Ours is struggling a little, I think it got shocked from the long car ride it took to the house. Hoping it will start growing eventually.

So are you saying the picture is not of your plant? If so can we see your plant?

Definitely Dieffenbachia.

These Dieffenbachia, as well as, Aglaonemas (Chinese evergreen), are pretty common in the USA. We tend to keep it on the warm side indoors in Winter here, and these both will resent Winter chill indoors. Of the two, I prefer Aglaoneamas, Diffenbachias have a pronounced tendency to get leggy..., even in the tropics.

Thank you so much. We were given a small sprouts, but during transport it got sad & I believe it just got a little shocked. It’s hard to see but what were given was the small thing in the pot.

These are pictures of what it looked like after it got to the house during transport. I have since removed the leaves. We believe we are starting to see it get a little taller but we are hoping for the best.

Was curious on the name of it in case we look to buying one.

Did it get cold?

It was cold I believe outside the day he brought it home. The lady also placed it in like a plastic baggy.

Those too are Diffenbachia, they have poor chill tolerance at best. Very tropical.

Exposure to below-freezing temps would damage the foliage. In the one pic, it looks like part of the soil is moist but part of it is dry. Is that reality, or just a trick of the camera?
