This hardy decorative houseplant, formerly called Pleomele reflexa, is native to Madigascar, Mauritius, and other islands of the Indian Ocean. The leaves have parallel, lengthwise veins and are solid green or variegated with yellow and cream, glossy, leathery, flexible, lanceolate in shape, smooth-edged, and spirally arranged along the branches. The branches are silvery brown in color and covered with leaf base scars from the fallen leaves. The variegated form has arching branches and an irregular growth habit.

Process :
1. The University of Arizona classifies this plant as requiring medium light. That means it needs light, but cannot tolerate direct sunlight.
2. Change the soil in the pot of your purchased plant if it isn't well-draining organic soil.
3. Fill a small bucket with tap water and let it sit out for a period of 24 hours to let the fluoride evaporate.
4. Mist your plant once per day with a spray bottle that has been filled with water. This is necessary because corn plants require a humid environment.
5. Apply a fertilizer every three months to the soil surrounding the corn plant.
