Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans) Care Guide

Light, Water, and Pot Requirements

• Light: Bright indirect (north window ideal). No direct sun.
• Pot: Small—roots prefer confinement. 6–8 inch pot typical.
• Water: Allow top ¼ of soil to dry between thorough waterings.
• Fertilizer: Minimal; can skip entirely.

Common Problems

Yellow leaves = overwatering, large pot, or low light. Brown tips = fluoride in tap water (use filtered/distilled).

Repot only when root-bound (roots circle bottom densely).
