Beginner Gardening: Growing a Bushy Dieffenbachia, 1 by dezzo

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty certain this is a Dieffenbachia, but I'm not sure which type.

I'd like to keep this plant tidy and compact like it is now and try to get it to become more full and bushy rather than long and spindly, which I've seen happen to this kind.

What's the best way to do this?

I know sometimes you are supposed to pinch off new growth on some plants to force them to become bushy, but I have no idea which plants that applies to, or exactly where/how to do it.

What size pot should be used to achieve the busy style? Is it better to keep it pot-bound?
