Cordyline 'Rumba'

Purifying and Humidifying

Plants like the Cordyline Rumba clean volatile organic compounds from the air and convert carbon dioxide into the oxygen we breathe. 

If you mist the plant enough, it will transpire helping humidify the air and relieving complaints related to respiratory issues and skin sensitivities.

• Place your Cordyline in an area with bright indirect light, be careful with direct sunlight, it can scorch its leaves. A little misting from time to time can help the plant thrive. 
• Keep the soil constantly moist but not oversaturated to avoid root rot. Allow only the top of the soil to dry out between waterings, preferably rain or distilled water. 
• With the right care, this gorgeous plant will live a long, happy life and continue to add a stylish and sophisticated flair to your home.
• This plant survives well in average household temperatures. Avoid anything below 15ºC.
• Use a nutrient-rich fertiliser once every 2 weeks during the growing season.
• An occasional prune is advised to keep it at a manageable size in your home, clip back the stalks six inches from the top of the soil
• A young plant will need repotting every 2 years to expand its roots, mature Cordylines will only need repotting every 3 to 4 years. Use an organic well-draining soil mix.

Cordyline fruticosa is also sometimes known as Cordyline terminalis, or Dracaena terminalis. Other common names include Good Luck Plant, Ti Tree and Baby Doll Ti.
