Corn Plant Care Guide

Light: Most of those in the Dracaena genus including the Corn Plant do best in light shade or gently filtered sunlight. If the light is too bright, the leaves will burn. If the light is too dark, the new leaves may appear smaller and have a different stripe from the older ones.

Watering: These plants need to be allowed to dry between waterings. Water well, then allow the soil to dry before watering again. The soil can be kept moist if it is in a sunny spot with warm temperatures and good light (except during winter).

No matter where you place your houseplants in winter, reduce watering. However, the soil should not dry completely.

Humidity: To prevent the Corn Plant's leaves from getting blemished, you need to maintain a reasonable humidity. This can be achieved by misting the leaves.

Feeding: It is recommended to feed your plants regularly in the spring and summer. It is not necessary to feed plants that have been repotted or in Winter.

Temperature: The ideal growth range is 16degC to 24degC/ 60degF-75degF. Avoid any frosts below 10degC/50degF.

Repotting: Repotting is only necessary every two to three years. It's okay to repot more often if it's necessary, and if you have enough space and a large enough pot.
