CORDYLINE RED SISTER

Light: ☀️ Prefers bright, indirect light to partial sun. Full sun can enhance the red coloration but may need protection during hottest hours in very sunny climates.

Water: 💧 Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches feel dry. Don’t let it dry out completely.

Soil: 🌱 Rich, well-draining soil with good organic matter. Peat-based or loamy mixes work well.

Temperature: 🌡️ Loves warmth — ideal range is 65–85°F (18–29°C). Not frost-hardy; protect or bring indoors below USDA zone 9.

Humidity: 💦 Enjoys high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier if grown indoors.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced or foliage-boosting fertilizer to enhance its vibrant colors.

Pruning: ✂️ Remove old or yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy. Can prune tops to encourage bushier growth.

Growth Habit: 🌿 Upright, tropical shrub with striking hot pink to burgundy-red foliage. A popular choice for vibrant accent planting or tropical container gardens.
