Dracaena fragrans aka Corn Plant

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Corn Plant due to its easy-going nature.

Corn Plant does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Corn Plant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

During the wintertime, it's common for Corn Plant to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

Corn Plant prefers dry environments, so misting the plant to provide extra humidity and allow water to linger on the leaves can create an ideal environment for fungi that can be harmful.

The growth rate of Corn Plant is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.

Corn Plant’s native range is Africa to Southern Asia and Australia.
