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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Red Ti Plant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-stem density\u003c\/strong\u003e: Several canes at staggered heights fill the plant out from base to tip, avoiding the leggy look of a single stem.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep burgundy foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Broad glossy leaves hold red-purple colour year round, deepening in bright filtered light.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBold leaf scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wide leaves give a strong architectural mass that contrasts with fine palm and fern foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grows upward rather than outward, so it slots into planting beds barely a metre deep.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Genuinely good in large pots, which suits balconies, courtyards and covered terraces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical colour accents\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repeated through a green planting scheme to carry colour without flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow bed planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fits tight beds along paths, fences and pool surrounds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature pots\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single multi-stem clump in a large pot works as a standalone statement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstorey layering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits beneath palms and canopy trees where light is filtered and warmth is held.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 600mm to 1m for a continuous coloured band\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m as individual clumps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and summer, once soil and air are warm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, organic, free-draining soil; keep moist but never waterlogged\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water two or three times a week through the first warm season and reduce over winter, as cold wet soil is what kills cordylines.
