What kind of water are you using? Corn plants (and dracaenas in general) are very sensitive to minerals/chemicals in their water. So it’s best to use rain water or distilled water.

I am using tap water

Your water may be too hard for it, like mine is. I second the distilled water recommendation. I treat my water, but you could also pick up a gallon of distilled water for a dollar or two at the grocery store, and that much will last you a few waterings. Good luck!
