You can cut the top off and new shoots will come from the sides of the trunk.





Or, if it's the top you want, air layer it then plant the top. Corn plants air layer very easily and you'll end up with 2 plants and you can keep the one you like best and give the other away if you don't want both. Here's a link on how to air layer. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/exten...
Reply:Yep - just cut it off anywhere above a nodule and it will resprout. Forget the airlayer advice - not needed. It will take probably 3 months to see new growth.
Reply:Wow!


I have always liked those plants....so hard to kill.


Isn't there any starts that you could use to start a new pot with?


Maybe you could donate the tall part of it somewhere.


Like maybe a school or somewhere that there is some room for it to grow.


I don't think I would cut the top off. You'd be cutting it off all the time.


I bet it looks really neat tho.


Keep up the green thumb!
