People also ask, do Cordylines like sun?
Cordyline needs bright light, but avoid direct sunlight in unhabituated plants. Also, green-leaved cordyline tends to do best with direct light, while those with other colored leaves may prefer bright indirect or filtered sunlight.
Additionally, why are my Cordyline leaves going brown? A common problem with Cordyline and almost all indoor houseplants is what we call “tipping” or simply the tips of the leaves drying out and turning brown. This can be caused by a number of factors including over-watering, chemical burn from too much fertilizer, Root rot and dry stagnant air.
Also question is, how often should you water Cordylines?

Anthracnose Blight Leaf, shoot and twig blights are caused by several kinds of anthracnose fungi.

Heavily infected leaves die and drop off the plant.Should I cut the flowers off my Cordyline?
Cordylines are unlike conventional shrubs or palms so it can be confusing to know how to prune them, if at all. Pruning generally should be limited to removing dead leaves and spent flowers.
