Question

Answer
Hi Irish,

Once a corn plant is mature enough to flower, it will usually flower once or twice per year thereafter, as long as it is not repotted or relocated.

The flowers are very sticky and very messy once they start to turn brown and dry. I suggest that you cut off the entire flower spike (stem) as soon as the flowers start to fade. The flowers are not self-pollinating and yours will not produce seed.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
