Description
Origin
The Cordyline fruticosa ‘Tango’, also known as the Good Luck Plant, originates from the warm, humid climate of East Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific islands. The plant mainly grows in open forests and bright places. It is a perennial plant, meaning it remains green throughout the year in its natural environment.
Characteristics
The Cordyline fruticosa ‘Tango’ is a growing plant decorated with large oval leaves that grow in bundles. The color of the leaves ranges from dark pink to almost purple, depending on the light intensity and the plant’s health. The plant can reach up to 2 meters in height, making it a popular ornamental houseplant. In summer, the Cordyline fruticosa ‘Tango’ produces small flowers, followed by red or white berries.
Care
The Cordyline fruticosa ‘Tango’ requires moderate care. The plant needs a lot of light but also tolerates partial shade. A moist, well-drained soil is ideal for this plant. The plant should be watered regularly, but the soil must be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. While the plant can withstand high temperatures in its natural environment, it thrives indoors in moderate temperatures ranging from 18 to 27°C. The plant is not cold-resistant and should be kept indoors when temperatures drop below 10°C.
