Cordylines

What are Cordylines?

Cordylines are a genus of tropical plants that belong to the Asparagaceae family. They are commonly known as ti plants or Hawaiian ti plants. Cordylines are native to Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Australia. They are popular ornamental plants and are grown for their attractive foliage, which comes in a range of colours, including green, red, pink, and variegated. Cordylines are easy to care for and can be grown indoors or outdoors in mild climates. They are also used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
