chopping corn plant in half

5 months ago

I have a 6-foot-tall corn plant that's been leaning at a 15 degree angle for many months now. It's next to an east-facing full-lite door so it gets good sunlight, but it's in a vacation rental so I haven't been able to give it consistent attention. I brought it home last night and am going to try and fix it up here. It's got a decent root system (although likely not happy since I uprooted it yesterday), but the stalk is pretty spindly. Can I chop the stalk in half, stick both halves in a basic+cactus soil mix (I have rooting powder) and try and grow both halves? Or is that just a recipe for 2 dead halves? :P
