My parents had an 8-10 foot diffenbachia for years.  They discovered
that you can cut the stem into about 8-inch lengths and bury each
one in a pot, vertically, and after a month or two, get a new plant.
They usually buried them in a vertical position, I think with an inch
or so above the soil.  They also had success with rooting the top of the
plant, by burying the cut stem pretty deeply in a large pot.  Most of
their friends and neighbors ended up with baby deefies as a result.
Hope this helps.
