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.
