My indoor potted 'corn' plants are growing upward, and losing their
lower leaves (this is normal). However I've seen several corn
plants in the plant center which are more like bushy plants, i.e.
the leaves cover the entire plant, bottom to top.

Am I missing a method of growing corn plants?? Mine are like trees,
long stem, with a mass of top foliage, developing new leaves on
top as the stem hardends and leaves drop off the bottom.


I've tried making small 1/4 incisions into the trunk to encourage
new growth there, with a small degree of success.

Should I be wrapping the trunk with peat moss and keeping it
wet to encourage new growth?


Any ideas ???

Thanks...
