The simplicity of the Cordyline Glauca is all that’s needed to green up a space! This easy to care for plant prefers bright indirect to medium light. The dense, bright green clusters of stems continue to grow upwards making this a fairly tall specimen. As the plant matures, the lower leaves begin to die. This creates a bare stem look that is often desired with this plant.

Cordyline Glauca - Common Problems

My plant's leaves are browning: As the plant matures, it is natural for some foliage to become brown and die. Another reason could be the lack of light. Move your plant into a spot with bright, indirect light.

The leaves are yellowing: When leaves are yellowing, check the soil and inspect for pests and remember to fertilize your plant.

The leaves are becoming dry and crispy: Check the soil moisture, if it is dry - give the plant water. If it is damp, remove the plant from the pot and inspect the roots. If the roots are brown and mushy - that is a sign of root hair bursting and could lead to issues within the soil such as root rot. Provide the plant with ample humidity. If the humidity is too low, the plant will begin dropping its leaves.

Signs of Overwatering: New growth becomes soft and brown and the leaves begin to drop.

Common Pests: Scale, spider mites, and aphids
