Dracaena fragrans is a slow growing shrub, usually multistemmed at the base, mature specimens reaching 15 m (49 ft) or more tall with a narrow crown of usually slender erect branches. Stems may reach up to 30 cm (12 in) diameter on old plants; in forest habitats they may become horizontal with erect side branches. Young plants have a single unbranched stem with a rosette of leaves until the growing tip flowers or is damaged, after which it branches, producing two or more new stems; thereafter, branching increases with subsequent flowering episodes
Dracaena fragrans ‘Massangeana’ needs slightly acidic soil that drains well to thrive. Change the soil in the pot of your purchased corn plant if it isn’t well-draining organic soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. County extension offices offer soil test kits if you aren’t sure what the pH is. Avoid using soil mixes that contain a large amount of perlite or fertilizers containing superphosphate with these plants. That’s because Dracaenas are very sensitive to fluoride, which perlite and superphosphate contain.
Place your ‘Massangeana’ plant between 4 and 8 feet away from either a south-, east- or west-facing window. This plant as requires medium light. That means it needs light but cannot tolerate direct sunlight. While these plants tolerate low light, they will not grow as well.
Water the Dracaena fragrans ‘Massangeana’ plant with the fluoride-free water once per week until the soil is soaked but not sopping wet. Watering too frequently can lead to root rot. And, use room-temperature or warm water as cold water can damage these sensitive tropical plants.
