Saving a 6-Year Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans) from Wilting and Yellowing

Wilting despite dry soil suggests root rot from sitting in drainage water. Empty saucers within an hour of watering. Check roots: black/mushy = rot. If so, trim, air-dry, repot in fresh mix. Water only when a skewer inserted to the bottom comes out dry 3/4 down.

Light Check

Corn plants need bright indirect light. A dim foyer may be insufficient. Move closer to a window.
