How to care for a Cordyline fruti 'Tango'

Watering Cordyline fruti. 'Tango'

Cordyline fruti. 'Tango' likes even moisture, but not wet feet. Water your Tango about once a week during the growing season (spring and summer). Always check first whether the top five centimeters of the potting soil feels dry. In autumn and winter, water less to prevent root rot. A watering can like our elho 1-5l watering can helps you apply the water precisely.

Light requirement Cordyline fruti. 'Tango'

A location near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. Want to learn more about the light requirements of other colorful plants? Then read our tips in the blog about yucca care .

Common problems with Cordyline fruti. 'Tango'

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves are often caused by too much or too little water. Check the soil moisture regularly and adjust your watering routine. Too dry can cause dehydration, while too wet leads to root rot. Remove yellow leaves with clean shears to prevent further mold growth.

Plant drips

Light water droplets on the leaves are usually harmless and indicate guttation. This occurs when the plant releases excess moisture at night. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid watering right before bed. In case of heavy rain, you can reduce the humidity slightly by opening windows occasionally.

Plagues

Spider mites and thrips can occur at high temperatures and low humidity. Check the undersides of the leaves regularly. Control pests with a natural insect spray or sticky traps like our fungus gnat sticky traps . For comprehensive pest prevention, read more in our blog about dracaena care .

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When the roots grow out of the bottom of the pot, it's time for your Tikko to move to a larger one. Choose a pot from our selection of pots for houseplants and repot it in fresh, well-aerated potting soil. This encourages growth and prevents your plant from becoming confined to its space.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges often result from low humidity or too much direct sunlight. Increase the humidity with a plant mister or place your Tango on a moist substrate of hydroponic clays. If the sunlight is too bright, move the plant to a spot with indirect light.
