You are on the House Plant forum.

What is the history of this plant? Has it been outside in the cold? Did you rescue it from the kerb? Can you show the pot and the medium? And can you outline the treatment it has had so far e.g. watering?

First off, it's not a Corn plant (species of Dracaena), it's a Yucca elephantipes.

Is it this one? Never ordered from them myself, but I know others have and liked them. Here is a link that might be useful: Accents for Home and Garden

I don't know, that medium looks pretty wet. And heavy. I'd soak up some of that water with a towel underneath for a while. You need surprisingly little water to root leaves; generally a very light medium that's *just* damp. Enclose them any way that works for you. Korina

I rescued the plant from my daughter's kitchen. I am attaching a photo of the pot. It was planted in Miracle Grow potting soil. It was probably overwatered and was definitely pulled on by her 2 yo.

Yuccas need a lot more light than a corn plant (Dracaena fragrans.)
