Descrption

Water

Moderate watering. Keep the compost lightly moist during spring and summer, allowing the top few centimetres to dry between waterings. Reduce watering during winter and never allow the plant to sit in water.

🌱

Soil

Free-draining houseplant compost with added perlite to improve drainage while retaining enough moisture around the roots.

🪴

Repot

Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when noticeably rootbound. Move up only one pot size at a time and always use a pot with adequate drainage.

💡 Joe's Top Tip

Give colourful Cordylines plenty of bright, indirect light to maintain their strongest colours. Keep them somewhere warm and away from cold draughts. They also appreciate higher humidity, particularly during winter when central heating can dry the air.

⚠️ Common Mistake

Allowing the compost to repeatedly become completely dry. Cordylines prefer more consistent moisture than plants such as Dracaenas and can develop brown, crispy leaf edges when kept too dry.

🌿 Plant Fact

Cordylines have been cultivated for centuries across tropical regions, particularly throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Different varieties have been selected for their spectacular foliage, which is why a Cordyline Mix can contain plants with dramatically different colours and patterns.
