Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans) Blooming: What to Expect

Your mature corn plant has produced a fragrant flower spike—congratulations! The species name fragrans hints at the sweet scent. The bloom lasts several weeks; you can remove it if desired.

Post-Bloom Care

The growing tip that produced the flower will die back in a few months. This is normal—the plant will simply sprout a new stem nearby and continue growing.
