My Corn plant use to have a beautiful green stem - I still can’t figure out why it’s now brown? Is there anyway to fix or help out my plant? :(

None of it am I certain but I think it’s some kind of water issue, it maybe over watered. But also it looks like it’s possibly getting too much light as well. Whenever leaves turn their undersides to face the light it’s usually because they’re getting too much. Could be wrong though

Take it out of the pot and check for rot. Repot in a more airy/chunky soil. Hopefully it’s not too late

Also in a smaller pot it may be retaining too much water in the current pot
