When it's cooled, strain the liquid and add a third of a cup of soap flakes. Then spray the plant with this recipe. Some like it hot, but grasshoppers don't. Last year's drought in Queensland saw gardeners planting arid zone plants but as soon as normal rainfall arrived, which it inevitably does, many keeled over and died.
But during the drought, the cordylines simply stopped growing until the rains came, then they powered off again. They truly are water wise plants.
Cordylines can give year round lushness and colour in a shady spot that really compliments other plants like palms. And regardless of whether you live in the sunny north or quite temperate climates, you can create that lush tropical look and feel with these ultimate easy care plants.

The blooms will turn into small white berries with a thick black seed. Cordyline can easily be planted by seed but will require scarification on the seed to enhance germination. The plant likes well-drained soil in a sunny or partial shade location.
Surprisingly, it can withstand temperatures down to about degrees Celsius for short periods. Cordyline australis naturally splits when it blooms. Here's what to do;. Propagate cordyline from seed, cuttings or suckers, ideally from April to June. Pot up individually using well-drained cuttings compost. If possible, provide bottom heat. Cordyline australis AGM: palm-like tree, branching sparsely with age. Light green leaves. Panicles of white flowers produced occasionally in summer.
This is also a compact cultivar. Cordyline plants can develop spots on their leaves, often in response to physical damage or stress such as exposure to cold wind, hail and winter wet. Wet and cold weather in winter, and drought and heat stress in summer, can lead to poor growth, yellowing and browning of the foliage or excess leaf drop. Improve the growing conditions and provide winter protection. Winter damage can also cause dieback of the crown.
To avoid this, provide winter protection. Where it has happened, remove the affected growth. The plants usually regenerate from the bare stems or produce suckers at the base. Damage to the bark following a hard winter can also be associated with an infection known as cordyline slime flux.
