It is wise to place the plant in bright, indirect light to maintain that beautiful colour and virbance that the plant has plenty of. You should then water the plant on a bi-weekly basis, with misting taking place during the periods of no water, just to keep the foliage fresh and clean.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.

12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Prune off any damaged or dead leaves to encourage fresh, vibrant growth. Feed Cordyline every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to maintain healthy foliage and colour. For potted plants, rotate them occasionally to ensure even exposure to light, preventing lopsided growth. Protect the plant from frost by covering it or moving it indoors during colder months.
How to Water
Water Cordyline deeply after planting and regularly during its first year to help establish a strong root system. Once established, it prefers soil that is allowed to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Cordyline dislikes soggy soil, which can lead to root rot. During hot or dry periods, water more frequently, particularly for plants grown in containers.
How to Plant
To plant Cordyline, select a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Amend the soil with organic matter if necessary to improve drainage and nutrient content. For outdoor planting, dig a hole twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For potted plants, use a container with drainage holes and a quality potting mix. Firm the soil gently around the roots and water thoroughly after planting.
