Cordyline baueri Care Tips

Plant in full sun to partial shade, ensuring the soil is well-drained. Water regularly during establishment, then only in dry periods. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring to support lush growth. Remove old or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. It tolerates light frost and coastal conditions, making it ideal for many New Zealand gardens. Provide some shelter from strong winds to protect the foliage.
