How to Prune corn plant?

Corn plant, known for its long, arching leaves and cane-like stems, benefits from pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Optimal pruning should occur from early winter to late winter when the plant is dormant. Remove dead or yellowing leaves and trim leggy stems back to the base. This not only enhances appearance but also promotes bushier growth. Regular pruning helps prevent overgrowth and supports overall plant health.
