CORDYLINE
Caring for a Cordyline plant indoors involves several key steps to ensure it thrives and maintains its vibrant foliage. Here are the essential care guidelines:
Sunlight
- Cordyline plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions but their vibrant colors may fade. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering
- Frequency: Water your Cordyline when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- Method: Water thoroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the pot, ensuring the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
Humidity
- Humidity: Cordylines thrive in higher humidity. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby.
Temperature
- Cordylines prefer temperatures between 18-29°C. Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
