Pruned her without gloves and now it feels like the tips of my fingers have tiny glass shards embedded in them

    A shower is too big of a container for this type of plant. It will do better in something smaller.

    diffenbachia. hope you like that pain in your fingertips, it will stay for a GOOD WHILE (3 weeks to a month). NEVER prune a diffenbachia without gloves! (and most ficus too). the sap causes itchy and/or painful rashes in most

    edit: the reason for the glass shard feeling is tiny shards of calcium oxalate crystals, they cause the pain/itching
