I’ve had my corn plant for 10+ years and it’s still very alive and about 6-7 feet tall, also shooting new growth on the bottom near its roots

[@buckey2241234]

Also, I’ve never sprayed the leaves before or fertilized so I’m glad it’s doing well

[@lelleithmurray235]

My corn plant is approaching 9ft (hitting the ceiling) had her first flowers this year.She also put out a new shoot right from the pot. I don't do anything special, just use rainwater to water,and wash off the leaves. The flower spikes are spectacular, and the scent is heavenly!

you should be the one making the video, its crazy to me that all these care videos include young plants that just came from the nursery, they should have ones that are thriving indoors not ones that just came from being pampered in a greenhouse nursery,also they should be talking how the make it bushy ,how to prune etc, some like it tall, some like it short and bushy

I have a corn plant that is around seven feet tall, it touches my ceiling. I have cut it down to to around five and a half feet before. I hardly ever water and have not fertilized, the leaves on green and healthy. I washed the leaves yesterday. I just don't understand how this plant grows. I know one thing over watering is not good because the leaves will turn yellow. I just thought I would share.

[@TheYounggostra]

thanks

[@SamCole]

I just bought one and after a few days the leaves were turning yellow. I placed it across our main door. It gets about low/medium light. Do you think that is the reason why the leaves are turning yellow? I water it first when i got it and now the soil are just moist.

I actually enjoyed your video so thank you for sharing. My question to you is , I own a corn plant myself and actually it's doing pretty well I think. But out of the 5 stocks 4 of them only have shoots. It's as if this one stock has died or become dormant. There was a time when this stock had at least one nice shoot and showed the start of a new one. But for whatever reason it died. So do I remove it, will it affect the rest of the plant..?

This was great! I do have this plant at home. And I am worried about it. I’ve had her for one year and I recently repotted it in January and gave her potting mix from Miracle Grow.

Lately she has been getting brown spots and the leaf tips are browning and I’m not sure if it’s the soil I used. Any help?

[@traceykampes8364]

I bought one 4 years ago medium size. Grew beautifully n November I moved n becuz of its size I had to transport it in the back of a truck. So my plant endured wind n cold for 10 minutes ripping most of the leaves. Over a period of a month the leaves died off leaving about 6 at the top of the plant. I figured the plant wpuld die but I've got new growth like crazy....only at the top tho. So I've got this big "trunk" approx 2 ft tall with the "plant stalk" growing out of it approx 5 ft tall with about 15-20beautiful leaves growing out of the top. My question is.....should I cut the stalk from the trunk near the new growth n root it in water then replant it?

I pulled them off then within maybe a week the next set of bottom leaves start turning completely brown. I’m definitely not overwatering and it gets good light indirectly. I haven’t fertilized yet but it’s only maybe 4-5 months old. Can I fertilize now in winter? Should I water when it’s all the way dry or just very top dry?
