About Corn Plant
Did you know the genus name Dracaena comes from the Greek for ‘female dragon’? Some plants in this genus have thick, red resin which was reminiscent of dragon blood! 🐲 Dracaenas are native to Africa, Asia, and northern Australia, and are known for being super easy to care for. Some species can go months without water, and many can grow well in low sunlight.

How to fertilize Corn Plant

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Corn Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can someone tell me what to do to make my plant healthy again. I've noticed the past couple months the leaves on 1 side going brown. I've had it for a few years now, the one and only plant I've managed to keep alive for more than a week! 🤦🏻♀️😅

There is a white film covering part of the soil in the pot. Could this be a fungus or a mold? What might cause it and how do I care for it? #Dracaena
