Cordyline (Cordyline fruticosa)
A vibrant symbol of tropical beauty — with bold, sword-like leaves in shades of green, red, and burgundy that bring structure, color, and exotic flair to any space.
The Cordyline fruticosa, also known as the Ti Plant or Good Luck Plant, is a striking tropical evergreen that captures attention with its upright growth and vividly colored foliage. Native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, this plant is celebrated for its long, lance-shaped leaves that emerge in dramatic hues — from deep green to shades of pink, red, and burgundy — depending on the variety. Its rosette leaf arrangement and elegant vertical form make it a favorite for adding architectural interest and a lush, exotic atmosphere indoors.
Often regarded as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, Cordyline has a rich cultural significance across Polynesian and Asian traditions. Beyond its aesthetic and symbolic charm, it also serves a functional purpose — helping purify the air and improve indoor air quality.
Cordyline thrives in bright, indirect light, where its colors are most vibrant. It tolerates moderate light but may lose some of its vivid pigmentation in low-light settings. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and always ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it adapts to average indoor humidity, occasional misting or use of a humidifier enhances leaf vibrancy and texture.
Although hardy and adaptable, it’s best to keep Cordyline away from pets, as ingestion can cause discomfort. Its low-maintenance care and tropical aesthetic make it ideal for bright corners, entryways, and modern interiors that seek a touch of vibrant nature.
At Acacia, each Cordyline is selected for its rich coloration, full rosette formation, and strong upright structure, ensuring that every plant adds both elegance and energy to your indoor landscape.
