I cannot for the life of me figure out how to stop the leaves from browning? The soil feels dry about two inches deep so sometimes I water it early but I feel like it’s still slowly dying for me over time. Any thoughts?

    Hey! Do you keep it in direct sunlight?

      Hey! I’d say it’s about 20 ft from my main window. It’s a pretty big window so the plant still gets a good amount of light but just not sitting right at the window.

      20 feet is pretty far from a window i think 🤔 it may not seem like it to us but plants are more sensitive to light. i also think these plants need to dry out more, like at least halfway down the pot. my bet is that more light & less water might help 🤓

      In my experience with my corn, she is pretty resilient without water and can dry out lower than 2 inches. When they get rot from overwatering they are pretty much goners so try to avoid having them constantly wet/damp. You can tell if yours has rot if you squeeze the bark area close to the soil and it gives rather than being firm like a tree should. They do well without full sun but 20ft is far imo, try bringing them a little closer to the window area. Good luck! 🌱💚

      Thank you! Do you think it would do better at around 5 feet? The base of the bark is nice and firm as well

      Yes 5 ft should be just fine and it sounds like you’re beating root rot so that’s also great. Keep an eye on any plant when you change its location, but like I said corns are pretty resilient. I’m sure it’ll be just fine 👌🏽
