Care
- Scale insects are best controlled with a soap and spirits solution. Spider mites can often simply be showered off over the tub. - Over time, the soil loses some of its important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh potted plant soil every two years in spring. - As soon as temperatures no longer fall below 5°C, even at night, this plant can also be taken outside. A shower with lukewarm water will remove dust and revitalise your favourite. A semi-shady spot without direct sunlight is best to prevent leaf damage. If necessary, the plant can also be repotted outdoors in spring, which saves cleaning work indoors.

Flower
Cordyline australis 'Electric Star' forms tubular, inconspicuous flowers arranged in panicles from March. These exude a pleasant fragrance.

Use
Room, tub, conservatory
