About this plant
Cordyline fruticosa 'Tango' is a compact variety of the Ti plant, a tropical evergreen from Southeast Asia and the Pacific. It forms an upright rosette of broad, glossy, lance-shaped leaves in deep burgundy to purple, with vivid pink-red margins that glow when light hits them.
Indoors in Dubai it does well in bright, indirect light, which keeps the color rich. It tolerates air conditioning but not cold air blowing straight onto it, and very dry air or hard water can brown the leaf tips, so filtered water and a humidity tray help. Let the top of the soil dry between waterings. Outdoors it is only suited to a shaded, sheltered spot, and summer sun will scorch it.
It suits desks, side tables, receptions and bright living rooms, and its color pairs well with plain green plants. We offer it in a 30 to 40 cm size, in a nursery pot, ceramic pot or cane basket, and in a single larger size.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Cordyline Tango healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; no harsh direct 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: placing it under an AC vent, which dries and browns the leaves. Where it works: desks, side tables, receptions and bright living rooms.
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).
