Leaf size: approximately 18 inches.

Cordyline terminalis requires watering every 7–14 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Hawaiian Ti Plant thrives in bright indirect light light conditions. The optimal light range is 1000–2000 lux. Avoid placing Hawaiian Ti Plant in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Cordyline terminalis grows best at temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Hawaiian Ti Plant prefers humidity levels of 50–70%. A pebble tray or humidifier helps maintain adequate moisture around the plant.

Well-draining soil mix with added perlite for aeration. Good drainage is essential for Hawaiian Ti Plant to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current container, and ensure it has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
