About Corn plants

Native tribes of northern Tanzania and Mt. Kilimanjaro used Corn plants to mark sacred sites as far back as 1000 BC. This is a plant deserving of some respect.

While they might grow as high as six metres in the wild, indoors Corn plants are more about character than size, providing a bit of tropical flavour even on grey days. If they’re really happy, they might reward you by growing small, white flowers. To keep yours in a good mood, remember: generous with the misting, sparing with the watering.
