1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Cordyline Red Star
Botanical Name: Cordyline australis 'Red Star'
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Ornamental foliage plant
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0256
Alternative Names:
كورديلين
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Genus: Cordyline
Species: Cordyline australis
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to New Zealand; widely cultivated as an ornamental in temperate to tropical regions worldwide. Naturalized in parts of Australia, Europe and North America.
4. Visual Characteristics
Erect, cane‐like trunk topped with a rosette of arching, linear‐lanceolate leaves 30–100 cm long and 5–10 cm wide. Leaves emerge deep burgundy‐red that intensifies in bright light; new growth may display crimson hues. The dense crown of narrow blades creates a dramatic, architectural form.
5. Size & Dimensions
Indoor height: 1.2–1.8 m (4–6 ft)
Outdoor height: up to 6 m (20 ft)
Spread: 0.6–1.2 m (2–4 ft)
6. Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning or late afternoon sun. Intense midday sun may scorch leaves, while low light reduces leaf‐color vibrancy.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries out. Reduce frequency during cooler months; avoid prolonged drought or standing water.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well‐draining, fertile potting mix rich in organic matter (for example, peat‐based mix with perlite or coarse sand). Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.5. Ensure containers have adequate drainage holes.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range: 18–29 °C (65–85 °F). Minimum: around 10 °C (50 °F); sensitive to frost. Prefers moderate to high humidity; benefits from occasional misting in dry indoor environments.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10‐10‐10) every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Suspend feeding in fall and winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low maintenance. Remove dead or yellowing leaves as needed. Wipe foliage occasionally to remove dust and maintain air exchange. Rotate plant periodically for even growth.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate by hardwood or semi‐hardwood stem cuttings: take 10–15 cm cuttings, allow the cut end to callus, then insert into moist, well‐draining medium. Roots form in 4–6 weeks. Also propagates by air layering or division of basal suckers.
13. Common Problems
Pests: susceptible to scale insects, mealybugs and spider mites. Diseases: root rot from overwatering; leaf tip browning due to low humidity or salt buildup. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, brown margins and sticky residue from pests.
14. Benefits & Uses
Valued as an architectural accent in containers, landscapes and interior settings; adds bold color contrast and vertical interest. Known to improve indoor air quality by filtering pollutants such as formaldehyde.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Contains saponins and dracaenins; mildly toxic if ingested, causing vomiting and diarrhea in humans and pets. Keep out of reach of children and animals and handle with care.
