Cordyline plant looking dull and stunted

Question

My cordyline has stopped growing and the leaves look dull rather than vibrant. What can I do to help give it a boost?

Jack · Answer

Cordylines have been hit hard by the cold wind we have had in the uk I have seen people suggest cutting it back and letting new growth come through

Paul · Answer

I would recommend a plant food and maybe put fresh soil down around the plant

Connor · Answer

With the time of year then never colour  properly as soon as spring hits fully around march give them liquid fertilizers. You can find them in any garden centre or b&ms

In this case, it is best to reduce the amount of water you give the plant and ensure it is getting enough sunlight. In general, it is a good practice to regularly check your Cordyline plant for any brown leaves and remove them as needed. This will help to keep the plant healthy and promote new growth.

Hi Greg, At this time of year Cordylines are not actively growing so just remove any leaves which are obviously dead and about to drop by just giving a slight tug, they should come away easily in your hand. When the weather warms up your Cordy line should show signs of regrowth. If it doesn’t cut off near to ground level and it may well shoot from the base. Although a Mediterranean plant they do thrive in the Uk and are often knocked back by frost etc, but most recover quite happily.

Alexandru · Answer

Add some fertilizer to the Cordylines to help them continue their recent growth.

I do some research and think this article might give you an answer.

When all the leaves are cleared the best thing to do is grab the trunk and feel your way down the trunk until it feels very hard and woody – then cut the top of the Cordyline off. Over the summer it will reshoot along the stem and from the base again. These shoots will develop into full woody stems again.
