CORDYLINE CHOCOLATE

Light: ☀️ Bright, indirect light to full sun. Outdoors it does well in partial shade or filtered sunlight. Indoors, place near a bright window.

Water: 💧 Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering or letting it sit in water.

Soil: 🌱 Well-draining, fertile soil. A mix with peat or compost works well.

Temperature: 🌡️ Prefers warm temperatures (65–85°F / 18–29°C). Not frost-tolerant — protect or bring indoors in cold weather. Hardy in USDA zones 9–11.

Humidity: 💦 Likes moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally if indoors or during dry periods.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to keep foliage vibrant.

Pruning: ✂️ Trim older or damaged leaves as needed. Can be pruned to maintain shape or size.

Growth Habit: 🌿 Grown for its rich chocolate-burgundy foliage with green edges. Upright, cane-like growth makes it a striking focal point in landscapes or pots.
