Corn Plant Care: Fertilizing, Light, and Summer Outdoors

Light & Placement

Corn plant (Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana') survives where your hand casts a shadow. Place 6 ft from south/east/west window. No direct sun.

Bamboo food is fine. Any balanced liquid fertilizer works.

Only in deep shade, no wind (leaves tear easily). Indoors is better year-round.
