The Massangeana cultivar is famous for its distinct yellow stripe and thick, woody stalk. In its natural environment, it can grow quite tall, but indoors it stays a manageable size while giving your space a lush, mature feel. It gets the name fragrans because mature plants occasionally produce sweet smelling flowers in ideal conditions. How to Keep Your Massangeana Happy Taking care of a Corn Plant is straightforward as long as you avoid overwatering. Here are basic tips to keep it healthy: Light: It does best in bright to medium indirect light. It tolerates lower light, but its yellow stripe will stay brighter with good light. Water: Let the top half of the soil dry out completely between waterings. Use filtered or tap water that has sat out overnight to avoid leaf tip burn from fluoride. Humidity: Average room humidity is fine for this hardy plant. It copes well with dry air during Canadian winter heating. Soil: A standard, well-draining indoor potting soil works great. Make sure the pot has drainage holes at the bottom. Temperature: Keep it between 18°C and 24°C. Keep it away from cold entryways and freezing window drafts in winter.

Why are the leaf tips on my Dracaena turning brown? Brown leaf tips usually come from tap water minerals like chlorine or fluoride, or from letting the soil get completely bone dry for too long. Trim the brown tips off and switch to filtered water if possible. Is Dracaena Massangeana hard to grow? Not at all. It is one of the easiest indoor plants you can own. It grows slowly, needs water only every few weeks, and tolerates a wide range of lighting setups. Is the Corn Plant safe for cats and dogs? No, Dracaena plants contain saponins, which are toxic to dogs and cats if chewed on. Keep this plant on a tall stand or in an area out of reach of curious pets. "How tall will a Dracaena Massangeana grow indoors?" Indoors, a Corn Plant usually reaches between 4 and 6 feet tall depending on pot size. Since it grows upward on its central cane rather than outward, it stays slim and tidy. Ready to Add an Easy Indoor Tree to Your Space?
