Reviving the Corn Plant

Good afternoon everyone! I would like to share my new growing space for my indoor garden: 

I really like the windows and the high ceilings in this space. These windows face west which gets evening sunlight but there are tons of trees outside of my windows which filters out some of the sunlight. I am planning to fill the space with new indoor plants. Last week at my local Walmart, I did find a new plant and here it is:

This is a corn plant (dracaena fragans) which is a beautiful houseplant. I did receive a 50% discount because the plant has some structural damage as well as lots of dead leaves at the base of each stalk. In the process of reviving this plant, I took the plant out of its pot to examine the roots:

 The roots were in OK condition but they also had some signs of root rot. I did trim the roots of the dead and decaying material. 

Next, I did place the plant into a new pot and set it in front of the west facing window to help it to acclimate to the new growing conditions:

I am going to let this plant rest for while and let it get used to its new home. Since the soil was very wet, I did not add any additional water to the soil mix to ensure that the problem of root rot will not happen again. This is my first ever corn plant and I am very excited to see the results of this plant in the future. Thanks for reading! :)
