Cordyline Fruticosa Mambo | 12cm Pot

Elegant house plant with purple-flushed foliage. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 35cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose a 14cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot Silken-deep purple leaves, edged with dusky-pink margins, elegantly carried on purplish stems, ‘Mambo’ is a gorgeously coloured houseplant. Choose it for its strong colour and vertical accent – and temper the dark foliage with the lovely bright frothy green of Adiantum raddianum ‘Fragrantissimum’. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Water freely when in growth, but keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 15°C, and repot every couple of years.
