Pruning a corn plant involves assessing its health, identifying parts that need pruning, making precise cuts, and properly disposing of the pruned parts. To prune a corn plant, start by removing dead or dying leaves and cutting back existing leaves to about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) long. Use clean garden shears or scissors to trim a corn plant.
Propagation is straightforward, usually through cane cuttings or air layering, and especially beneficial for managing tall plants. Pruning isn’t typically necessary except for removing yellowed ones. Learn how to grow and care for corn plants (Dracaena fragrans) at home with this comprehensive guide. Trimming your corn tree plant is an essential part of its care routine, but it doesn’t have to be difficult or intimidating. By following these simple steps and tips, you can remove dead branches and rotten roots from the plant, pinch off old flowers in flowering plants to promote further growth, make simple cuts just below the leaf line, and prune it back in spring or early summer to control its growth.
Use clean, sharp secateurs to cut off shoots and/or a section of the trunk to keep the plant’s size in check and encourage branching. Lower leaves on your corn plant will naturally yellow and die over time, so you can remove them by hand or with clean, sharp shears.
