Cordyline 'Calypso Queen'

Cordyline Calypso Queen is one of the most vibrantly colorful large foliage plants available. Its broad, upright leaves are a rich blend of deep purple, burgundy, and vivid pink that creates a tropical, jewel-toned display unlike anything else in the plant world. It grows steadily into a full, bold specimen that makes a genuine statement as a floor plant or room anchor. Like Dracaena, it is adaptable and tolerates average indoor conditions with minimal fuss.

Good for beginners? Yes. Cordyline is forgiving, adaptable, and low maintenance. It tolerates some drought and a range of light conditions. The pink and purple coloring is most vivid with consistent light and moderate watering.

Safe for cats and dogs? Cordyline is considered toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: Medium to bright indirect light keeps the purple and pink tones most vivid. It tolerates lower light but the color intensity fades. Avoid direct harsh sun which can burn the leaves.

Care at a glance: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Use filtered or distilled water where possible as chemicals in tap water can cause brown tips. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Water less in winter.
