Red Ti Plant (Multi-Stem) - Cordyline fruticosa ‘Rubra’
The red ti plant, Cordyline fruticosa 'Rubra', carries broad strappy leaves in deep burgundy-red on upright cane-like stems, and it is the standard plant for injecting permanent colour into a tropical planting without relying on flowers. Grown as a multi-stem it arrives with several canes of differing heights in one root ball, which gives a full layered column of foliage from the ground up rather than a single bare stem with a tuft on top. It needs warmth, shelter and filtered light to hold that colour properly.
Why Red Ti Plant
Multi-stem density: Several canes at staggered heights fill the plant out from base to tip, avoiding the leggy look of a single stem.
Deep burgundy foliage: Broad glossy leaves hold red-purple colour year round, deepening in bright filtered light.
Bold leaf scale: Wide leaves give a strong architectural mass that contrasts with fine palm and fern foliage.
Narrow footprint: Grows upward rather than outward, so it slots into planting beds barely a metre deep.
Container performance: Genuinely good in large pots, which suits balconies, courtyards and covered terraces.
Ideal Applications
Tropical colour accents: Repeated through a green planting scheme to carry colour without flowers.
Narrow bed planting: Fits tight beds along paths, fences and pool surrounds.
Feature pots: A single multi-stem clump in a large pot works as a standalone statement.
Understorey layering: Sits beneath palms and canopy trees where light is filtered and warmth is held.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 600mm to 1m for a continuous coloured band
Spacing (feature/avenue): 1.5 to 2m as individual clumps
Best Planting Season: Spring and summer, once soil and air are warm
Soil & Drainage: Rich, organic, free-draining soil; keep moist but never waterlogged
Establishment Care: Water two or three times a week through the first warm season and reduce over winter, as cold wet soil is what kills cordylines. Mulch with composted material, shelter from frost and cold drying wind, and remove lower leaves as they yellow to keep the canes clean.
