DETAILS
Care Instructions
Cordyline fruticosa thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
The Ti plant prefers well-draining, loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil with added perlite or sand can help improve drainage.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its vibrant foliage and overall health.Repotting
Repot Cordyline fruticosa every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate the Ti plant through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant it to a pot with well-draining soil.Pruning
Prune Cordyline fruticosa to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the year, but it is best to do so during the growing season to encourage new growth.Toxicity
Cordyline fruticosa is toxic to pets, particularly cats and dogs. Ingestion can cause symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, and loss of appetite. It is advisable to keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
