As a gardener, you may now be trying to revive a corn plant that’s dying. It is important to understand that the cause of death will vary from plant to plant.

There are many different factors that could be causing the problem and some plants have more than one issue at a time. This article will provide a range of potential solutions to help fix these problems so as not to let them go unnoticed!

How to Save a Dying Corn Plant?

You can save dying corn plants with the right care, which includes:

• Corn plants need around 70 degrees Fahrenheit in order to thrive
• In order to help the corn plant survive, you must maintain a humidity level of over 50%
• Using a potting mix that drains well to avoid root rot
• Water when the top inch of soil is dry with chemical-free water
• Provide sufficient amounts of sunlight that is indirect

Reasons Why Your Corn Plant Is Dying

Yellow leaves

Yellow drooping leave can be the result of not having enough water, overwatering, not giving enough sunlight, or not using a suitable fertilizer.

If you want your corn plant to thrive to its potential, the best thing that you can do is make sure it has a pot that comes with lots of drainages and a good soil mixture.

Sunburn

Sunburn is a common problem for corn plants that are not getting enough shade. After a long summer day, the sun may be too hot for your corn plant. They will protect themselves by curling their leaves in to avoid getting scorched or burnt.

Your plant needs to be shaded from the sun in order to stay alive, which can easily be done by using something like a patio umbrella or screen house. To prevent sunburned plants in the future, move the plant to a shadier part of your house or garden.

Fungus

If your corn plant has spots of white or black, it is most likely a fungus. To save the plant from this problem, it needs to be treated immediately! You should look for a fungicide that is labeled to kill fungus and follow the instructions. I like using neem oil because it’s an organic fungicide that handles fungal infections and controls pests.

Holes in leaves

If your plant has holes in leaves, it may be because of an insect or pest problem. This is a common problem for many plant owners. To save the plant, try using neem oil to help control pests like aphids or mealybugs.

Brown leaves

Brown leaves on your corn plant could be caused by too much sun, not enough water, or a disease. To save the corn plants from this problem you need to do some leaf pruning and add more organic material like compost for nutrients.

For late-season browning, it is recommended that you wait until next spring before taking any action because they will start growing again when warmer weather comes around!

Lack of nutrients

If your corn plant is not getting enough nutrients, it will start to wither and die. This can be caused by an improper soil mixture or a lack of fertilizer.

To save the dying plants from this problem, you need to fertilize with manure or compost every two weeks until the browning starts to go away!

I hope some of these suggestions for saving a dying corn plant helps!

Soil and potting

Keeping the potting mix in a container with good drainage will help to reduce root rot. It is also important that you use a mixture of perlite, vermiculite, and/or peat moss as this helps aerate the soil for better growth.

The best type of plant potting mix should have lots of organic material like compost or manure because it provides nutrients for your plants. You can buy fertilizer from local nurseries too!
