About this plant
Cordyline (Cordyline fruticosa), also known as the Ti plant, is a tropical evergreen from Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. It grows upright on a slim stem topped with clusters of broad, lance-shaped, glossy leaves that, depending on the variety, are green, burgundy, red or pink, often with bright edges.
It is a good choice for Dubai interiors with bright, indirect light, which keeps the leaf colors strong; in dim corners the colors fade. It tolerates air conditioning but dislikes cold drafts and very dry air, which brown the leaf tips. It is sensitive to fluoride and salts in water, so filtered water helps. Outdoors it can grow in a shaded, sheltered spot, but full summer sun scorches it.
It suits living rooms, offices, receptions and shaded patios. We offer it from 30 to 40 cm tabletop plants up to taller 80 to 100 cm floor plants.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Cordyline healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates some gentle morning sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 5–7 days in summer, when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; every 10–14 days in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: well-draining potting mix with perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 4 weeks from spring to autumn. Common mistake: putting it in a dim corner, where the red and pink colors fade to green. Where it works: living rooms, offices, receptions and shaded patios.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (saponins; can cause vomiting, sometimes with blood, depression, loss of appetite, drooling and dilated pupils in cats).
