"Lucky Log" (Ti Plant or Corn Plant) Stem Rot: Overwatering Rescue

Sentimental "lucky log" (Ti plant/Cordyline or Corn Plant/Dracaena) with one blackened stem after overwatering.

Immediate Steps

1. Cut off black stem at base.
2. Dry out fast: Remove saucer, increase airflow, bright indirect light.
3. Water only when pot feels dry + light.
4. Read-a-book light level (bright indirect, no sun).

ID Your Plant

Google "Ti plant" and "Dracaena corn plant" images. Both hate wet feet.

Act fast—root rot spreads. Healthy stems can survive if dried promptly.
