Usually about every 10 days or so for this one - I use a tester that tells me how moist or dry they are!
Iโ€™m sorry the tips on the leaves of your Cornstalk plant is turning brown and the bottom of the stem is turning black. ๐Ÿ˜ž โ€ข I agree with Donnaโ€™s statement on inconsistent watering. The best gadget to determine the moisture in your soil is your finger. A green thumb is actually a dirty index finger. ๐Ÿ™‚ Only water your plant when the top one inch of the soil feels dry to finger, (that should be down to your 1st knuckle). Immediately stop watering when water starts pouring out the drainage hole. Donโ€™t let it sit in the water that ran out of the drainage hole.
โ€ขI noticed on your plant information its located in direct sun. The direct light will scorch the leaves. It need bright indirect light from a south or east facing window.
โ€ข Unfortunately there is no picture of the plantโ€™s black stem, but itโ€™s a sign the stem is beginning rot. You could take a look at the roots, and with sterile scissors remove the black or dark rotting roots. Then repot it in fresh soil or propagate it in water.
โ€ขThis website will show pictures (so you can make a diagnoses) and it will give you remedies for stems turning black. https://gardenforindoor.com/plant-stems-turning-black/
โ€ขDonโ€™t give up on your plant. I hope your plant will make a speedy recovery.
