Brown Tips on Mass Cane (Corn Plant): Water and Light Fixes

Mass Cane (Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana') hates direct sun and fluoridated/chlorinated water. Place in bright indirect light. Let water sit 48 hours to dissipate chemicals. Water when surface is dry. Monthly dilute soluble fertilizer is fine. Brown tips = fluoride or sunburn.
