Cordyline 'Orange Compacta'

Dwarf Cordylines make stunning indoor plants; they are hardy and do well in low light making them well suited for indoor gardens and terrariums. Cordylines will also do exceptionally well in pots in most places indoors.

They are very slow growing and will not require much maintenance, so can be kept small and compact for long periods.

Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums; potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep on the drier side in winter. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light.

Fertiliser should be only used it you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact. Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c growth will be slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. This cultivar is hardy but will not survive outdoors in cold climates.
