| I got the corn plant(janet craig?) from a friend in July. It had a lot of black/grey/brownish leaves when I got it, so I cut them off. Since then it hasn't grown anything and more leaves turned bad. Do I still have a chance to save it or should I just give up on it? Thanks a lot. |

| stillwaterll, a healthy Dracaena deremensis 'Janet Craig' has slender stalks which are green when healthy. Black discoloration of the leaves and upper stem indicates over watering while a tan coloration of the lower section points to a dried out condition. The former can be managed by inducing drying conditions and pruning the dead/discolored tissue. For the latter condition, removal of the affected stalks is the best course of action. |

| Thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye on the water and hold on to the plant for a while longer. |
