Cordyline Ruby $10

Cordyline do best in locations with bright, filtered light such as a window sill that has an Eastern exposure when grown indoors. When grown outdoors, Glauca prefer a location that gets partial sun and partial shade. If you have less than optimal lighting available, try the Cordyline Glauca. Glauca is a variety of Cordyline that tends to survive very well in poor lighting conditions. From our experience Red Sister, Hot Pepper and Xerox are an excellent choice for a room or office with direct natural sunlight.

The Cordyline is a great house or office plant because it prefers the same temperatures that many living situations are kept at on a daily basis. Night time temperatures in the lower 60’s and day time temperatures in the 70’s are ideal. Keep in mind that although your home or office are kept at these average temperatures, other factors may play a part in your plant being too hot or cold. Make sure that your plant is not directly affected by a heating or air conditioner vent. The direct cold or hot air will surely damage your plant. You also want to keep an eye on the window if you place your plant in one. On very cold days, the glass will transfer the cold – and if the leaves from your Cordyline are pressed against the glass, they will become damaged. It is never a good idea to have your plant up against any window or wall. You will also want to avoid any drafts in colder climates. A cold gust of wind from being placed near a door or window that opens could also damage your plant.
