Red cordyline
Red sister
Size: 3-7ft Pot: Plastic grow pot Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is essential for maintaining vibrant pink hues; low light causes leaves to turn green. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, watering when the top 1–2 inches feel dry. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Water Quality: Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater, as Cordyline is sensitive to fluoride and minerals in tap water. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (50%+); mist frequently or use a humidifier during dry weather. Temperature: Keep in a warm environment (18°C–29°C) and protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C. Soil & Potting: Plant in a well-draining mix using potting soil, perlite, and coco chips in a pot with drainage holes. Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Troubleshooting: Brown tips indicate dry air or tap water buildup, while leaf loss at the bottom is normal aging.
