What is wrong with my corn plant?
If leaves on a corn plant develop dark, moist-looking spots and they gradually turn yellow, then dry up and die, the plant has a fungal disorder. ... For a plant that's already affected, prune away damaged leaves or stems, and re-pot or re-plant in new, well-drained soil.
Why are my corn sprouts falling over?
Moisture is Key
The next possible cause of your problem is uneven moisture or periods of dryness. If corn experiences drought stress, and the top 2″ of soil dries out, those nodal roots can do the same and will die. Lack of sufficient water also causes stalks to be thin and vulnerable as a result.
Should you water corn everyday?
Corn needs about 1 inch of water a week, particularly when the stalks begin to tassel. Water stress during pollination will result in ears with lots of missing kernels, so don't skip watering your corn patch. Apply water at the soil surface by using a soaker hose or drip irrigation.
How do I revive my corn plant?
An easy fix is to move the plant away from the window exposing the leaves to direct sunlight, or filter sunlight by using a curtain or UV filtering window film. A related symptom of overexposure to direct sunlight is the leaves of the corn plant growing inward.
Why is my corn dying?
During periods of moisture stress, the corn is unable to absorb the nutrients it needs, leaving it weakened and susceptible to diseases and insect attack. Water stress during vegetative growth stages reduces stem and leaf cell expansion, resulting in not only smaller plants, but often wilting corn stalks.
How do I know if my corn needs water?
Water sweet corn whenever the soil surface dries out, but don't saturate the soil. The surface should feel just moist to the touch and water should drain away from around the plants within 10 to 20 seconds. Water first thing in the morning so any moisture that gets on the leaves has time to dry during the day.
Can you overwater corn?
If too little water is applied per session, it won't reach the roots and your efforts will be wasted. Remember to take into account any rain that falls. Too much watering may also stunt the growth of the corn plants. In order to retain soil moisture and temperature, a layer of mulch can be applied.
Does corn need sunlight?
Sweet corn is quite easy to grow, but it does require ample growing space and plenty of sunlight. Corn won't grow well at all if it is planted in a spot that receives less than six hours of full sun each day. ... Plant the seeds of early sweet corn varieties an inch deep and about six inches apart in good rich soil.
How often should corn be watered?
Water your corn once or twice weekly, more if the weather is hot and dry. Normal plants should grow fast with dark green healthy leaves.
Should I cut the brown tips off my corn plant?
