Recommendations for getting this corn plant back to a manageable size? It’ll likely be moved to a room without high ceilings. It is too top heavy anyways. Pot is about 1 foot deep.

I'm no corn plant expert but it might be the case where you can chop the top off, put it in water to encourage root growth, then replant the shorter plant. It's like propagation but the goal is to remove the leggy portion and keep only the part with leaves. I'd encourage you to look up tutorials for best practice and make sure to use a sterile cutting tool! 😁

You might even be able to multiply your plant by additionally propagating the leafless stems. Just make sure to use rooting hormone to encourage root growth

Try moving it to a bigger pot, and you could try trimming the top a bit it won’t hurt the plant much

Bigger as in deeper?

Bigger as in wider

The roots don’t have much space to spread out in that pot, so it might be making up for it in height
