Did someone say tropical beach vibes anyone? Also known as the Hawaiian Ti Plant, you've probably seen Cordylines growing in humid coastal gardens in Natal, up to Mozambique, (and if you've ever been to Sri Lanka, Hawaii or Southeast Asia you've likely admired them everywhere!) Now you can have them in your home (or summer garden), adding fresh tropical flavour.

Comes in a 20cm grow pot. Decorative planters sold separately.

About Plant

Caring for Cody

Light

Bright light indoors and semi-shade outdoors. The more light it gets the brighter the colours. Avoid a full day of direct sun, which will burn the leaves.

Water & humidity

Water often in summer, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Let the soil dry out 2-3cm down in winter. Mist leaves regularly for best results as they love humidity! Read our tips here. Cordylines also need to be above 15C year round, and will not tolerate temperatures dropping below 10C. If grown outside they will need to be brought indoors during winter, unless you live in a warm tropical area.

Feeding

Fertilise often in summer, every 2 - 4 weeks to encourage lush growth.

Re-potting

Every two years in spring. Mix regular potting soil with a good handful of peat moss and perlite. This mix ensures good drainage while still retaining moisture. Or use our Hemp Super Soil! Cordylines can also be propoagated by cuttings and root division.

Atrium Top Tip

If the leaf starts curling it means lack of water. Brown edges mean lack of humidity. Flouride build up can also cause brown leaf edges, so water with rain or filtered water if possible.

Quirky plant fact

Ti Plants were brought to Hawaii by the Polynesians who cultivated it for its spiritual use, medicinal teas and starchy edible rhizomes. The plant is believed to bring good luck in Hawaii and only the Hawaiian chiefs were allowed to wear the leaves of the plant around their necks.
