Corn plant

Corn plant
Posted by Junie from Indiana on 2001-04-04 18:48:20

I have a corn plant that is about 6ft tall, has bloomed three times in the last 12 years, what I would like to know at what point should it be cut back to come out new from the stalk?

    Prune your corn plant stems back to whatever point you would like to see new growth emerge.
