Default Corn Plant - House Plant Type - Propagation

Would you cut one of the two joints off at the trunk and plant in moist
sand? I'm figuring the worst that will happen is I trim down the "mother"
plant, and possibly nothing happens with the one I cut off. What I don't
know is if I will harm the "mother" plant by doing this? I would be terribly
upset to lose this plant, so I just need to figure out the best way to go
about it. Thanks for your reply.

I have what I only know as a Corn Plant in my home. I am
assuming it is a tropical houseplant. It has done very well
since I received it 6 years ago. My question is, I would like
to propagate this plant and make another one.


I have had success with "air layering" and just putting sections of the
stock in moist sand.
