# How to Remove the Brown Leaves on a Dracaena Fragrans Corn Plant
The Dracaena fragrans, also known as the indoor corn plant, is a tree-like plant with long, dark green leaves that arch out from the center. Originally from the tropical regions of East Africa, the indoor corn plant can grow to be 6 feet tall. A common problem with Dracaena fragrans is that the tips of the leaves turn brown if it's underwatered, leaving the plant with a less than healthy appearance.
