Baby

Cordyline

(Cabbage tree) Fruticosa

Long, glossy leaves that arch out from the stem like a little fountain: that's what you'll notice first. Cordyline fruticosa grows wild in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands, where it's known as the ti plant, and it brings a tropical feel even at 22 cm tall. Picture it on a bright shelf in your living room, with the light catching every leaf. This baby is small enough to tuck between your other green friends, and with time it grows into a lush, upright plant with a little trunk of its own. Every new leaf unfurls from the centre, so you get to watch it grow up.

Give it bright, indirect light, like a spot near a window with a sheer curtain, because strong midday sun can scorch the leaves. Water when the top 2 cm of soil feels dry and let the excess drain away, since this green friend likes evenly moist soil but not wet feet. In a small 6 cm pot the soil dries out quickly, so check it about once a week. Brown leaf tips usually point to dry air or lots of minerals in tap water, so try rainwater or filtered water and keep it away from radiators. It's happiest between 16 and 27 °C. Repot in spring into fresh potting soil once the roots fill the pot, and feed it with half a dose of plant food every month in spring and summer. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs, because the leaves are mildly toxic if nibbled.
