Mountain Crest Gardens Cordyline Calypso Queen

Cordylines are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine, which are commonly found in tap water. Using distilled or filtered water is highly recommended to prevent brown tips and keep the vibrant purple and pink foliage looking its best.

To keep the deep purple and pink tones vivid, this plant requires bright, indirect light. If placed in a dim corner, the leaves may lose their intensity and revert to a duller green.

It is quite manageable for most indoor gardeners. While it prefers consistent moisture, it is forgiving enough to handle an occasional dry spell, making it a great balance of beauty and ease.

We do not recommend it. Low light will likely cause the plant to stretch and lose its striking coloration. It is best suited for well-lit rooms with bright, indirect exposure.

Cordyline fruticosa is generally considered toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
