Description

The listing, **Want a live tree in your home? This Deffenbachia will make that wish come true!!** has ended.

These are wonderful trees to grow in your home!! We have the 'mother' plant (actually she's a great,great grandmother now!) That's her in photo#1; Photo #2 is one of her babies only 2 yrs old; In the 3rd & 4th photo are 'new borns' that I just put in water to root. They grow quite quickly and even as a baby, they add to your home decor in such a beautiful display! They like sunlight, but not too much direct sunlight. I water them once a week unless it is dry in the house (winters) then I just check to see how dry the dirt is. Very hardy, as I move them out on my front porch in summer & back in for the winter. They are great for the air quality in the house and at times I find little water droplets on the leaves (which means it is healthy & happy) If it gets too dry in the house or outside on hot days I spritz them with water. If you need any more info on these plants, I'm sure if you google it or check out any gardening / houseplant site you can find out more. The 'baby' I am listing is about 10" high right now & am waiting for it to start to get new roots. (that's why I have made this auction a 21 day auction) Thank you for stopping by & any questions feel free to ask in comment area & I'll answer it to the best of my knowledge & experience. Thanks again:) NOTE; I WILL NOT SHORTEN THE DAYS AND THERE WILL BE NO GIN ON THIS, so please do not ask:) ALL LISTIA RULES APPLY! Thanks again:)

It's also called The Mother in Law plant. A small amount of the juice from this trees stems and you loose your voice for a few days...lmao...True!!!

Great auction.
It is true if your mouth or lips touch the sap they will swell up very bad. Also keep away from pets who like to chew plants. Highly toxic.

OMGosh, didn't know this; so far no problems with my kitties, but now that I know I will keep a closer eye on her (I have one that's a 'chewer' ) Thank you so much:)

Yep! asw is 100% right. I had one from about 1967/68 until about 1977 and I had a cat and always had a dog, they could get to it any time they wanted to, but, I never, ever had any chew or even get very close to it!!! I think they know it is poison to them!! Animals are pretty smart and in the wild, they had to know what is and is not poison. I never liked my sister-in-law and one time I got some juice from one of the leaves. (NOTE: Prior to doing this I had talked to a doctor I worked for and he told me she wouldn't be able to talk for a few hours and was all it would do)Anyway, I took the juice and one night I put it on one of her filters on her cigarettes. The next morning she picked the "right" cigarette and smoked it for a little while. "She is one of these really grumpy people when she gets up after sleeping." Then my brother came in and she tried to say something to him any nothing came out!! She thought she had laryngitis!!! It lasted about 6 hours. It was so funny and nobody ever found out!!! It took about a half a drop... Just sayin'.......................

I am sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. You don;t know the whole situation, so don't be upset with me for doing what did. The week before she had made me a hot chocolate Sunday. It was delicious. Now mind you I had to wear braces to walk so in the middle of the night I had to go do numbrt 2 really bad. Cramps so bad I couldn't stand straight, Needless to day, the bed, the floor, bathroom and was a mess, She had melted a whole brand new box of X-Lax and poured it all over my Sundae and I ate it all. I got so dehydrated I ended up in hospital to have IV's and what did was so terrible. So sorry every. I should have never brought it up. I do appologize to aglenski1 for putting such terrible stoey on her Auction. I am so very,very sorry!!!!! :(

Thank you.....we learn something new everyday! I don't text much as I have one of those free phones & plan from the gov't (Obama phone) they call it LOL it has texting but the 'old fashioned' way with the letters corresponding to the #'s on the keypad & it's a PitB ( just made that one up LOL)

LOL My sister uses that term; I thought I'd use 'butt' instead of the other LOL don't think Listia allows any type of 'profanity', which I am trying to curb my 'cussing' anyway.....was brought up around 2 brothers & other male relatives that swore like 'troopers' as i was growing up & boy did I pick it right up!! Now it's a struggle to quit!! Anyway, have a great rest of the week & weekend:)
