Thanks for your comment. I prefer it when they don’t flower as they keep a solitary trunk. They will flower in a Spring not many years away now, I’m sure!
I've got a cordyline that's around 4m tall and is doing well, is there any way to encourage new lower branches at say 1-2m or even the base to make it look a little different?
Hi, sounds like an impressive plant! Cordylines often shoot from the bottom or sometimes somewhere up the trunk if the top growing point is damaged. I definitely wouldn’t recommend damaging it so I’m sorry but I don’t have any advice to help! Personally I love the single trunk look
No, even a cordyline can easily survive a short freeze, even in a pot. The length of the freeze could be a problem if it doesn’t get above freezing the next day. For this reason I keep mine touching the outside walls of the house as these are normally a few degrees warmer due to the heat in the house.
Great advice on this video! do you know why they sometimes have brown spots on their leaves?? My cordyline has brown leaves on bottom and the green ones are full with spots 😔 .
Hi, thank you for your kind words. Some cordylines seem to suffer with this. It could be fungi but it doesn’t seem to do any major harm or spoil the appearance as long as you don’t look too closely!
Great info, just a few questions are the roots big on these australis cordyline as iv planted near a wall, its grown to abt a metre tall, just wondering if roots would damage the wall, also how tall can these grow. Thanks
Hi Nadeem, these are good plants to grow close to a wall as unlike other trees the roots don’t expand as they grow. They will gain height at around 30cm per year i’d guess
Hello, mine are brown/deep red in color. In a plant pot. Small, just brought from Asda. Do you recommend I water the daily? Some of the leaves are up and a few dropping down. When I cut them where exactly do I cut? Thank you
Hello, every day is probably too much unless it’s a heatwave. You want to aim to water as soon as the soil has dried out. Cut the dead leaves close to the trunk, maybe leave a few cm but these leaf bases that are left will fall off on their own anyway
I have one about 3m high that was planted too close to the fence and is now overhanging into my neighbours garden which I don't want. Do you think it would be possible to dig it up and move it ?
Hi Andy, sorry these plants don’t transplant well at all and if you tried moving it the trunk would almost certainly die. It’d probably regrow from the roots. I have a few on the boundary and it doesn’t bother me. My neighbour did once cut off all the leaves that were hanging onto his side of the fence slightly though! I thought it was hilarious 😂
@@palmsexoticsuk2194 I've put a ratchet strap around it and bent it away from the fence, will gradually tighten it and leave it on for about a week, will probably spring back some but worth a try.
They are very easy to grow in the UK. Just make sure you buy a strong specimen. But if it gets colder than -15 to -18 as it sometimes does in the occasional freakishly cold British winter your cordyline will be toast. But don't worry, if that happens they are still alive underground and will usually (if established) come back from the roots, and probably in a multi stemmed form 😉
Question, is there any way to sort of stunt the growth of a cordyline? I have one in a pot at the minute that im planning on putting in my new planter but I dont want it to get out of control. Does anyone know if by simply planting the pot into the ground and burying it slightly will limit the growth?
Hi, I don’t think there’s a way of restricting growth whilst maintaining a healthy plant. If you plant it in the pot it will grow happily and faster than it would if you left the pot on the patio. I think you’re best keeping it in the pot as it is now until you’re ready to plant out
Hi, it’s not possible to totally control the height but it will grow slower in a pot or if you don’t feed / water it but all of these things compromise plant health to some extent. From zero trunk to 1.5m of trunk I’d say 5 or 6 years in England.
Thanks for a great upload. I am astonished by the size of some of your Cordylines. How tall is your oldest; how old is it and what size was it when you planted it?
Thanks Jeff! The one in the raised bed has almost 2m of trunk and another 80cm or so of growth on top of that. It might have had 30cm of trunk when I planted it about 5 years ago
Hi, I noticed that B&Q had them for £2.50 a couple of weeks ago. Very small plants but would grow a lot next year. Other places like B&M and supermarkets often have them too at about £3

Ok to start off with the main reason you go for them cause there cheap, I love it
I’m a tight old git so yeah that was quite important to me 😂
I have two green cordylines bought from Home Bargains few years ago...they are now huge ..about 9 ft ...never flowered though.

When having them in a pot outside, can they get damaged as soon as nights go below 5 C or even before that?
No, even a cordyline can easily survive a short freeze, even in a pot. The length of the freeze could be a problem if it doesn’t get above freezing the next day. For this reason I keep mine touching the outside walls of the house as these are normally a few degrees warmer due to the heat in the house.
When you dig a hole in the ground do you first put gravel at the bottom for drainage?
Hi Sofia. I don’t do this as a few inches of gravel isn’t going to do a lot. It won’t do any harm but not worth it in my opinion

@@palmsexoticsuk2194 oh perfect! As we approach winter here in Greece I was nervous that my plant is going to suffer! Thanks for your answer 😀

Wrap it in fleece and put an old pillow case on to keep the leaves together

they get root bounded easily in pots due to the deep root system.
Yes, agree. Look good for a couple of years though :)

Hi
How we can manage cordyline height?
How quickly it grows to its 1.5m height?
Hi, it’s not possible to totally control the height but it will grow slower in a pot or if you don’t feed / water it but all of these things compromise plant health to some extent. From zero trunk to 1.5m of trunk I’d say 5 or 6 years in England.

Where do you buy them for £1-£3?

My cordyline has lost all its leaves after the winter
Almost all of mine did too but most are producing new shoots from the base now. Any sign of life from the base of your plant?
