Cordyline Rumba – Big – Outdoor Plant | 60-80cm
Cordyline fruticosa Rumba is a lovely tropical foliage plant, with smokey burgundy leaves and striking pink margins that branch off a central stem. They form in a manner similar to Dracaena (they are both members of the same family), with their lower leaves dying to encourage new growth as the plant develops. Cordyline fruticosa is also sometimes known as Cordyline terminalis, or even Dracaena terminalis. Their common names include Good Luck Plant, Ti Tree and Baby Doll Ti.
Light
Cordyline fruticosa Rumba does best in moderate to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this may damage the leaves. Fruticosa Rumba is one of the more shade tolerant Cordylines.
Watering
Drought tolerant but thrives if its soil is kept consistently moist. Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before watering and do not allow to stand in water. Reduce watering in winter. If possible use rain or filtered water to avoid brown leaf tips.
Temperature
Hawaiian Ti Plants enjoy average to warm household temperatures from 18-27°C. Ensure your plant is always above 13°C and avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations.
Humidity
Additional humidity is preferable. Increase humidity levels by standing on a wet pebble tray and misting regularly. The Hawaiian Ti is ideal for steamier rooms like the kitchen or bathroom.
Feed
Apply a weak solution of liquid fertiliser once or twice a month during the growing season. Do not use fertilisers containing fluoride.
Height & Growth Rate
The Hawaiian Ti Plant is a moderate-grower, reaching heights of around 1 metre to 1.5 metres indoors once fully grown.
