How to Care for corn plant in Winter?

Corn plant, native to tropical Africa, adapts to warmer climates, minimizing frost exposure. When winter drops below 50°F (10°C), corn plant surges into rest mode, which slows its growth but enables survival. Winter care involves reducing watering frequency and keeping it away from drafty windows to protect it from chilling temperatures. A sunny, insulated indoor spot helps corn plant comfortably navigate winter, ready for lush growth in spring.
