I've gotten lots of information from reading this thread. Thank you, greenhornet for starting it. I, too, have a cornplant, that was given to me by friends after I lost my mother. It's one of my favorite plants. I had it outside, decorating my front porch (tons of shade), but had to bring it in for the winter. Mine, like yours, started getting brown around the edges and tips of the leaves. Now, it seems the bottom few layers of leaves are turning yellow and dying. I wasn't aware that I could just take them off. Thank you gitagal, for that information. Will new leaves grow in thier place? I may be wrong, but it looks like leaves only sprout from the top. Is that incorrect? As you can see, I'm new to the plant world.

Here is a picture of my plant when I was still proud of it...
