FAQs
Is the Cordyline Fruticose safe for pets?
Cordyline species can be mildly toxic if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept on high shelves or in rooms inaccessible to pets.
How often should I repot the plant?
You should consider repotting every 1-2 years when the roots begin to outgrow the 12cm pot, or if the soil loses its nutrient density.
Does it need fertilizer?
Yes, use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the spring and summer growing season.
Can I keep it in a room without windows?
No, this plant requires natural light to survive. If a windowless room is necessary, you must provide a dedicated full-spectrum grow light.
Why are my lower leaves dropping?
It is natural for the oldest, bottom-most leaves to drop occasionally as the plant grows, but if many are falling at once, check your watering schedule.
Troubleshooting
Leaf tips turning brown or crispy
This is typically a sign of low humidity. Increase misting or move the plant to a more humid area.
Leaves losing their bright color
The plant is likely not receiving enough light. Move it to a spot with brighter, indirect light.
Yellowing leaves at the base
This often indicates overwatering. Ensure the soil has good drainage and reduce watering frequency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your plant, allow it to acclimate to your home's light levels for a few days.
Light Requirements: Place in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can burn the delicate leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Humidity: This plant loves humidity. If your home is dry, use a pebble tray or a humidifier to maintain moisture levels around the foliage.
Temperature: Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and heaters. It thrives best in standard indoor temperatures between 18°C and 25°C.
Maintenance: Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and ensure the plant can photosynthesize effectively.
