Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Keep it in a location where it gets plenty of light without being exposed to intense midday sun.
💧 Water: Keep the soil slightly moist, watering when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid waterlogging, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
🌱 Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. A mix with perlite or sand is ideal to encourage proper drainage.
🌡 Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 60°F - 80°F (16°C - 27°C). Protect from drafts and chilly temperatures, as it is sensitive to cold.
🧰 Maintenance: Trim off any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking neat and encourage new growth. If you wish, you can prune the top to promote bushier growth.
📏 Size: Cordyline 'Harlequin' can grow up to 4-6 feet tall when planted in the ground, but it stays more compact when grown in pots, making it ideal for indoor settings.
