Corn Plant (Dracaena) 22″ in 20″ Pot: Prune, Don't Repot

22″ corn plant in 20″ pot (3 stalks, leaves on one, tops on others) = pot is fine. Prune to control height.

Pruning Method

  • Cut each stalk ≤½ height (not to soil).
  • Sharp scissors/knife above node.
  • No sealant needed—let dry.
  • Root cuttings: 3-ft sections, hormone, moist soil, ≤12″ pots, ≤5/pot.

Aftercare

Parent resprouts below cuts. Cuttings root in weeks (spring faster). Same light/water.

No repot. Pot size correct. Prune confidently.
