Water: Plant in well draining soil: the plant should not be over-watered.
These trees, like many indoor plants, benefit from a good ‘flushing’ of the salts out of the soil one to two times a year. To do this, take the tree outside (when it’s warm) in a shady spot and flood the soil with water several times to leach out the accumulated salts.
Light: Keep plants in as high a light situation as possible without being in too much direct sunlight.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures have been list between 75F- 85F during the day (24C-26C) and 10F-15F cooler at night (60F-70F, or 18C-21C).
Care: High humidity is good for the overall health of this plant. Cleaning the leaves frequently by gently wiping off the dust is also recommended. This not only makes the plant look better (glossier) but also keeps the leaves ‘breathing’ well.

Howeia Forsteriana
Light: Find an area that receives indirect light through a window; it does not necessarily need to be an extremely bright spot. Water: Water only when the top inch of soil starts to dry out. Over watering can lead to root rot if the soil mix does not drain fast enough. Fertilizer: Excessive fertilization may cause the tips of lower leaves to turn brown and die. Browning of leaves can also be caused by dry air and/or lack of water.Read more -

Cordyline fruticosa
Soil: Rich, organic soil that doesn't dry out too much. Light: Good light will enhance colors. Situate indoor containers in an area that receives bright, indirect light. Fertilizer: Grow the Cordyline fruticosa in a draining container that is one time larger than its root ball. Fill the container with a well-drained potting mix amended with a slow-release fertilizer. Follow package instructions concerning fertilizer amounts. Water: Water the container regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water until it runs from the container's bottom drain holes. Humidity: Fill a plastic spray bottle with water and mist indoor-grown Cordyline fruticosa plants weekly to create humidity.Read more
