Cordyline rubra fruticosa
Description: Cordyline rubra fruticosa, commonly known as the Red Cabbage Cordyline or Ti Plant, is a striking tropical shrub native to the Pacific Islands. This evergreen plant can reach heights of 1 to 3 meters and features long, slender, arching leaves that can grow up to 1 meter long. The leaves are typically vibrant green with striking red or purple hues, adding a splash of colour to gardens and landscapes.
Growing Tips:
- Climate: Prefers warm, tropical climates; ideal for coastal and subtropical areas of Australia.
- Soil: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with good organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is optimal.
- Light: Enjoys partial to full sun but can tolerate some shade. However, brighter light enhances leaf colour.
- Watering: Requires regular watering, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Fertilising: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few months during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
- Pruning: Regularly remove dead or damaged leaves to maintain appearance and encourage new growth.
Cordyline rubra fruticosa is not only an attractive addition to gardens but also serves well as a container plant on patios and balconies.

Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
