# Hi! I’ve had this corn plant for almost 2 months. I water it pretty…

_Posted by Green thumb novice on 2026-09-12_

Hi! I’ve had this corn plant for almost 2 months. I water it pretty infrequently as the only when soil is dry using a meter. I repotted once already with chunky soil after purchase. I left it in the same pot and the roots were not that deep. I moved it closer to the window with advice from Dr. Planta (north facing so not the best sun but running out of options) but the leaves are still curled. I have new growth that looks more flat but worried they’ll soon start to curl, and wondering if the other leaves will ever flatten out. I’m thinking of repotting with less soil in the same pot (so it’ll sit lower in the pot). Any other suggestions?

How long does the soil stay wet/significantly moist?
