  • Cordyline 'Glauca' is a striking tropical plant with elegant, sword-like leaves that exhibit a deep, glossy green hue with subtle bluish undertones. Native to the Western Pacific and parts of Southeast Asia, this cultivar is a member of the Asparagaceae family and is renowned for its upright growth habit and dense foliage clusters. The plant's architectural form and rich coloration make it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor tropical-themed landscapes. Its foliage maintains a consistent color throughout the year, providing a lush, evergreen presence in various settings.

    The plant typically reaches a height of 2 to 3 feet indoors, with a spread of about 1 to 2 feet, making it suitable for container growth and indoor cultivation. Unlike some other Cordyline varieties that boast variegated or brightly colored leaves, 'Glauca' is distinguished by its uniform, dark green leaves that can appear almost bluish in certain lighting conditions. This unique coloration adds depth and contrast when paired with other tropical plants. The leaves are arranged in a spiral fashion around the stem, creating a full and symmetrical appearance.

    In its natural habitat, Cordyline 'Glauca' may produce small, fragrant flowers followed by red berries, although flowering is less common in indoor environments. The plant's robust nature and adaptability have contributed to its popularity among gardeners and interior designers seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing specimen. Its ability to thrive in various light conditions, coupled with its tolerance for different humidity levels, makes it a versatile addition to plant collections.

    While Cordyline 'Glauca' is primarily cultivated for ornamental purposes, it's worth noting that, like many Cordyline species, it has cultural significance in certain regions, where it's associated with good luck and used in traditional ceremonies. However, it's important to be aware that the plant contains saponins, which can be toxic if ingested by pets or humans.


  • Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its foliage color and overall health. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

    Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering frequency during the cooler months.

    Prefers moderate to high humidity levels, ideally between 60–80%. In drier indoor environments, increase humidity through misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier to maintain leaf vitality.

    Optimal temperature range is 65–85°F. Protect the plant from temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it is sensitive to cold and not frost-tolerant.

    Requires a well-draining, fertile potting mix rich in organic matter; a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well. The soil pH should be slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.0 to 6.5.

    Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to salt buildup and leaf tip burn.

    Cordyline fruticosa 'Glauca' is toxic if ingested by pets or humans due to saponins. Keep out of reach of children and animals to prevent accidental ingestion.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
