Cordylines
- Varieties.
- Growing cordylines.
- Propagation.
- Use a sharp pair of secateurs to cut the main stem off around 50mm (2″) from the base.
- Cut the stem into sections about 70mm (3″) long.
- Plant the sections in propagation mix or even potting mix.
- The top part of the plant with the leaves can just be pushed back into the soil.
Secondly, why are the tips of my Cordyline going brown? A common problem with Cordyline and almost all indoor houseplants is what we call “tipping” or simply the tips of the leaves drying out and turning brown. This can be caused by a number of factors including over-watering, chemical burn from too much fertilizer, Root rot and dry stagnant air.
In respect to this, how do you take care of a Cordyline?
Outdoor Care
- Make sure the plant has evenly moist soil and partial shade to full sun.
- Provide ti with approximately 1 inch of water every week that it doesn't rain, as the plant grows naturally in areas with high rainfall.
- Water the plant with a hose or soaker to keep the foliage dry.
Can you cut back a Cordyline?
Cordylines are unlike conventional shrubs or palms so it can be confusing to know how to prune them, if at all. Pruning generally should be limited to removing dead leaves and spent flowers. Where plants have been hit by hard frost they should be cut back hard, as you have done, in spring.
Why are the leaves on my Cordyline going yellow?
Incorrect watering, including a lack of regular watering or repeatedly allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, can lead to leaf tip and margin burning. Too little water can also cause stunted growth and leaf yellowing and drop.How do I protect my Cordyline in the winter?
Winter protection Though frost hardy, young Cordyline australis plants, and also cultivars with coloured foliage, are more prone to cold damage. Prevent winter damage by tying up the foliage to reduce wind damage to the leaves and prevent water collecting around growing points and so causing rotting.How fast do Cordylines grow?
You seem to have some magic touch with Cordylines ! The mature ones locally seem to grow about 1-2 meters every 5 years. (Well I know how big they were when I moved in 5 years back).How tall do Cordyline get?

Why is my Cordyline dying?
Anthracnose Blight Leaf, shoot and twig blights are caused by several kinds of anthracnose fungi. The new growth of a giant dracaena is more prone to blight, which can cause tar-like spots or dead areas on the foliage. Heavily infected leaves die and drop off the plant.What soil do Cordylines like?
In the ground, Cordyline grows best in a deep, well-drained but moist soil. Most Cordyline plant varieties grow best in a neutral to alkaline soil ranging from 6.5 to 8.0 on the pH scale. 6.0 - 6.5 is recommended to reduce flouride absorption where flouride is a problem.Can Cordylines grow in pots?
Cordylines love to be planted in a well drained soil/compost and if you are going to plant Cordylines in pots and plunge them into the ground they will need adequate drainage holes in the pots.Can I cut the top off my Cordyline?
Like most tropical foliage plants, cordylines benefit most from regular misting. Dracaenas can also be cut back in this way, when they become too tall and straggly. This cordyline was left with a longer stem after cutting back because it is a background plant and needs height.What do you feed Cordylines?
Container-grown cordyline should be fed with a liquid fertiliser monthly during the growing season, usually late spring to late summer. These shrubs should be planted out in spring so that they can get established before cold winter weather. If planting in a container, use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No 3.How do you strike Cordyline cuttings?
To strike them, just put them in a pot of water and take them inside as colourful cut foliage while they're forming roots. Just make sure you keep them in a bright spot. They'll be ready to pot up in about a month, but they will last in water for up to 3 months.Can you replant Cordyline?
Cordyline australis, particularly older well established large plants can be rather difficult to transplant as they resent their root ball being disturbed. If your soil is very clayey, when replanting your cordyline we'd suggest you only dig a shallow hole and mound a quality good draining soil up around the root ball.How do I care for my indoor Cordyline?
Cordyline Care And Growing Conditions Required When in full-sun the plant requires more frequent watering. If grown as a houseplant, place in a bright spot but no direct sunlight. Allow the soil to dry out between watering. Keep air humid (especially indoors) – mist every so often.Do Cordylines have big roots?
The root structure of Cordyline australis consists of a large rhizome (food storage organ) and fibrous roots, this below ground structure is in excess of 25 per cent of the whole biomass of the plant. Unfortunately Cordyline australis resent their root ball being disturbed and are therefore difficult to transplant.Is Cordyline a grass?
Cordyline x 'JURred' Plant Patent #14,224 Bright burgundy-red foliage creates a dramatic and eye-catching grass-like effect with long arching leaves. Tiny white blooms appear on dark red stems in summer. Plant in drifts along walkway borders or in foundation plantings.How do you kill Cordylines?
Tree stumps that are still alive can be killed with SBK Brushwood Killer or one of the glyphosate-based tree stump killers. Make cuts in the bark and apply the chemical to these, as well as drilling holes in the stump and applying more of the chemical. It will take several months to completely kill off the stump.What is the best fertilizer for Cordylines?
Cordylines are leafy plants and grow at their best with fertilizer high in nitrogen, like an organic lawn fertiliser. In addition, fertilise with a fertiliser high in potassium (potash) will give leaves a brighter colour, fertilise during the growing season which are warmer months.How often should I water my Cordyline?
It is important to keep the soil continuously moist. Reduce watering during the winter and water your plant whenever the soil surface starts to feel dry. These plants can be fed in the spring with slow-release pellets.
