Care Tips:

💧 Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering the Corn Plant. Water it thoroughly, ensuring the water reaches the root zone, and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the surrounding temperature and humidity levels. 🚿
☀️ Light: Corn Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where they receive bright, indirect light for several hours each day. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but for optimal growth, avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. ☀️
🌡️ Temperature: Corn Plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but avoid exposing them to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as it may cause damage to the foliage. 🌡️
🌱 Soil: Well-draining potting soil is ideal for Corn Plants. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and loam works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. 🌱
🔒 Maintenance: Remove any yellow or brown leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage new growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking vibrant. If the plant becomes too tall or leggy, you can prune it back to maintain a desirable height and shape. ✂️
🌿 Propagation: Corn Plants can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a healthy stem cutting and place it in a container with water or well-draining soil. Keep it in a warm and humid environment until roots develop. 🌿✂️
