Product Details
🌿 Description
Cordyline is a striking tropical foliage plant, loved for its bold, upright form and colourful leaves—ranging from greens through reds, pinks, purples and variegated patterns.
It’s relatively easy‑care (for a tropical plant), making it a great choice for an indoor space or sheltered patio in the Perth region.
✅ Key Features
- Foliage: Long, lance‑ or sword‑shaped leaves that rise in a fountain‑like arrangement; many cultivars show vivid colours.
- Form: Upright, architectural; can work in a pot indoors (smaller size) or planted out to make a bold statement.
- Adaptability: While truly tropical species (e.g., Cordyline fruticosa) prefer warm humid spots, many cultivars are tolerant of indoor / coastal / mild climates.
- Low‑maintenance: Once established, they require fairly simple care — not fussy about soil (as long as drained) and tolerate a range of light conditions (though colour is better in good light).
🛠 Care Tips for Perth / Indoor Use
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best for indoor use. Avoid harsh midday sun if indoors as it may scorch leaves or fade colours. For outdoor / patio, part‑shade to filtered sun works well.
- Watering & Soil: Use a well‑draining potting mix. Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root‑rot.
- Humidity & Temperature: Prefers warmer temperatures and higher humidity; indoors you might need extra humidity if air is dry. Avoid cold drafts.
- Colour maintenance: For coloured or variegated types, good light and minimal stress help maintain vibrant leaf colour.
- Pot size / placement: If in a pot, pick something roomy enough for the root ball and with good drainage; for patios outdoors you can treat as a feature plant.
