soil type | Rich Sandy and Well Draining | Loam Soil | 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! 🌱✨ | Sandy Soil |
moisture needs | Moderate Watering | Regular Watering | 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. 🚿💦 | Moderate Watering |
