I let mine get dry before I water it, but I’ve noticed that if I use the stake method to test for moisture, that I have ended up with dried tips. See what others will tell you. Good luck! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/Uouy_DCkTgaRNYmisHaAQw.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Maddie님이 2024-04-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. No advice on water but this is an amazing plant! 🌱 #### Lynda님이 2024-04-23에 답변했습니다. I use a water gauge and when it tells me that my corn plant is “dry+”, then I go ahead and use the stake method to see if she’s really dry. But I have found out if I err on the side of really, really dry, then her leaf tips start to brown. So you want your corn plant to dry out, if she’s like mine, you don’t want her to get bone, bone dry. I hope that is clear as mine. If not, ask me some more questions. OK? Good luck! #### Lynda님이 2024-04-23에 답변했습니다. Yes, she is amazing and such a lovely member of our family! 😊💚🪴 ### Heather님이 2024-04-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. You should be bragging!! I will be delighted if I can even keep myself alive for 50 years!!! :-) #### Lynda님이 2024-04-26에 답변했습니다. You are so funny! With all the extra oxygen from your plants, you will have no problem living for another 50 years! So breathe deeply Dear, (and enjoy your plants😉) #### Heather님이 2024-04-26에 답변했습니다. If only I ate all the kale I grow!!!! ;-) #### Lynda님이 2024-04-26에 답변했습니다. As my husband just said, “YUCK!!!” ### plantmother님이 2024-09-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. hi lynda! I just received a corn plant that is looking a bit rough (cat scratches and no bottom leaves but very tall) any advice on general care and how I can make her look pretty again? #### Lynda님이 2024-09-24에 답변했습니다. There is no way I know of to regenerate lower leaves on the bottom of corn plants, however, I found that I could top my corn plant, and then replant the cut-off piece of stem next to the naked stem. I have done this several times, and I’ve had the good fortune to have other stems regrow! You now can have another stem that will grow new leaves to cover the bottom of your other naked stem. The best part is that you can do this several times, and therefore end up with a very full corn plant, with several lovely stems, and lots of leaves. Text me with more questions, if you have any. Good luck, and happy corn planting! 🤗💚🪴 #### plantmother님이 2024-09-24에 답변했습니다. that’s what I was thinking of doing! thank you so much for your help --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
