Sandy Soil
For Cordyline Red Sister, go for well-draining soil. A mix of regular potting soil with some perlite or sand works well. This combo ensures good drainage, preventing waterlogging. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH. And remember, happy soil, happy plant! 🌱✨

Drought Tolerant Once Established
Cordyline Red Sister prefers slightly moist soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be mindful not to overwater; they like it damp, not soggy. Adjust your watering frequency based on your specific environmental conditions. Keep it hydrated, but let the soil breathe a bit between watering sessions. 🚿💦

I planted it in the garden area. Shadow in morning but sun by noon and until 4:00 Miracle Grow and water regularly. Seemed healthy at first after planted. Progressively got weaker and weaker. Now just lays on the ground. Very disappointed.

Heliconias do not overwinter well indoors in a colder climate. The plant came in perfect condition.
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
My order came broken and the person from the company did get back to me and said it was fine and wouldn't affect anything.
I do believe them.
But....I have a green thumb and floowed what they said to a t and the plant was dead 2 weeks later.
I bought the blue powder ,made sure it wasn't overrated, in the sun.I am so disapointed.
