Corn plant flowers emerge from pink colored buds into masses of white flowers that open in the evening. They have a highly fragrant, sweet scent. The flower stalks can range in size from a few inches in length for an indoor plant up to 3 feet (90 cm) long for a large outdoor tree.

Width: 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm)

Light: Dracaena does need to be kept at a brightly lit spot without direct sunlight. Brown scorch marks on leaves are caused by hot, direct sunlight.

Make sure watering is done once the soil goes dry. Although the soil can remain moist, but it should not turn soggy/wet. Having drainage hole in the pots goes a long way in ensuring there is no water stagnating on top of the soil. You can spray the plant occasionally.
