Corn Plant (Mass Cane) Care for Beginners

Your new Dracaena massangeana (corn plant) thrives near a bright window without direct sun. It won't need repotting for years. Water when the top quarter of the soil is dry—probe with your finger. Frequency varies (weekly to every 10 days). Skip fertilizer; it's unnecessary. If tap water is hard, use filtered or distilled water. Benign neglect is the best policy.
