Notas de cultivo
Cordylines are versatile in the garden. These upright trunking cordylines have a clean vertical form, but also respond well to a hard pruning back (even all the way to the ground) and will send new growth out wherever they are cut back. By cutting multiple canes at different levels you can get a nice staggered effect and maximize screening.
Once the older lower leaves dry up they can be pulled cleanly away, exposing a textured trunk, but these leaves can also be removed before they are totally dry. This won't affect the health of the plant and is an effective way of reducing the crown.
Cordylines are an excellent choice for a pot, where they are low-maintenance plants for the long term.
In particularly windy conditions cordylines may develop brown frayed tips.
Colorful sports like this are often seen with yellow spotting on the leaves, which is usually a sign of not enough micronutrients in their diet, so be sure to always feed consistently and with a fertilizer that has a broad balance of nutrients such as magnesium.
