hey, i have a corn plant and it was fine yesterday, but now it has some weird brown spots on it, any idea what they are?

More information, please.

Is it actual corn, or a dracena?
Where do you live? Is it inside or outside? Had you just watered it? Did you just purchase it? Is it with other plants? or is it alone? Are the spots raised or flat? How big are the spots?

its an actual corn plant, i have it on my patio, and the spots are flat, but they seam to be starting at the stem and then reaching onto the leafs

Never having grown corn in a pot, all I can do is guess, but if it's too wet, the brown parts will look or feel "mushy", too dry, they'll feel dry. Is it in full sun? Does it get a good breeze? Corn does take a lot of water, but it can be too wet, and it is a full sun lover, pollinated by the wind---I hope it has a friend or two!
