Water Requirements Taketerminal (shoot tip) cuttings that are 10–15cm (4–6in) long. Remove all the leaves apart from the terminal tuft. Container-grown plants can be moved into a greenhouse or indoors. Alternatively, wrap the pot in bubble wrap and the foliage in fleece and place the pot in a sheltered location such as against a wall. Cordylines add all round interest to the garden and suit a variety of styles. They are striking architectural plants that look good with other tropical-style plants and softer grasses.
