A corn plant (Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana') has grown over 7 feet tall. The owner wants to reduce its height without harming it. Expert Will Creed confirms pruning is safe: new growth emerges just below the cut. Decide the desired height (e.g., 5 or 6 feet) and prune accordingly.
The removed top portion can be rooted in the same pot or separately. Prune confidently—the plant will respond with fresh growth. Additional care articles are available on request.
