The corn plant is a popular ornamental houseplant. This one has very striking, long green leaves which range from yellow to lime green in the outer edges that twist slightly. It provides a fantastic contrasting look, perfect for a tropical indoor vibe! It reaches a height of about 1 meter indoors, and has a bushy tree type of look. Native to Tropical Africa, it is very easy to care for and is a great air-purifier.
