Corn plant (dracaena fragrans massangeana) can grow up to 10 feet or more in height. You can prune your corn plant any time of the year. Cut the cane to the desired height (but no shorter than 6 inches), and new growth will appear just below the cut.
There are three types of branches to look for when pruning gardenias. The first are dead branches, where no new growth will occur. These are pruned not only for aesthetics, but also because they can be a gateway for diseases and pests. The same holds true for damaged stems, which also should be removed. Diseased stems should be pruned to prevent the problem from spreading to the rest of the plant. Gardenias take well to pruning, in general.
