Why Is My Cordyline Not Growing ?
I have planted 2 cordyline plans in my garden about six months ago , they are both in direct sunlight and in good ground yet one has grown 3 foot and the other one has not grown at all and only is 5 inches high still , the same hight it was when i planted it ? Any ideas why this is and what can i do to incourage grouth of it ?
you may find that by next spring/summer they will take off and grow beautifully. i think they need maybe about 6-9months to get established. They will flourish as long as they are getting good light, and plenty of air around them. Don’t give up on them.
cordyline plants love sunlight and humidity, here in florida they grow as large as some trees
Mark / Not sure what part of the world you live but if it is in England then for a Cordyline to grow 3ft in a year is unprecedented.
The fact that the other one had “stood still” points to a common planting mistake —— if you dig it up you may find that it is bone dry just as it was when you planted it.
Hope this helps
