Introducing the Cordyline 'red sensation', a vibrant member of the Cordyline australis! Hailing from New Zealand, this Cordyline's narrow sword-like leaves bring an unmatched style and structure to any landscape, serving as nature's very own fashion statement.

The Cordyline red sensation has several other common names such as Cabbage palm 'Red sensation', Cabbage tree 'red sensation', New Zealand Cabbage palm, and red grass palm. This evergreen perennial palm-like tree is like the rockstar of the cordyline genus. 


With its wider, spikier burgundy foliage that is distinct from the cordyline red star and remains vibrant and lush all year round.

Standing tall at 20 feet high and spreading outwards from 10 feet wide, this slow-growing evergreen tree knows how to make an entrance.

This cordyline red sensation plant is so versatile that you can grow it in containers on your patio or even bring it indoors for some serious potted plant glamour.

The flowers of the red sensation cordyline bloom during the late spring to summer, with the stunning white flowers with an enchanting fragrance that will have both you and the buzzing bees weak at the knees. With its deep burgundy-red color, this plant oozes richness without any fuss or hassle of dealing with delicate flowers.

Traditional medicine uses red cordyline plant leaves for wounds, headaches, and respiratory infections, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; consult a healthcare expert for proper dosage. It is a friendly succulent for both humans and pets.

Cordyline red sensation propagation can be easily done through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem at least 6 inches long, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a pot with well-draining soil to root. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Watering Needs 

As with all succulents, resist the urge to constantly douse it with water like it's a thirsty marathon runner. Instead, give your Cordyline red sensation plant some slow and deep hydration only after the soil has completely dried out - think desert rainfall rather than monsoon season.  

Pro Watering Tip

Remember, don't even think about watering from overhead unless you want your cordyline plant to feel like it's caught in an unexpected rainstorm (spoiler alert: that's not good).

When winter rolls around and your plant begins to go semi-dormant, hold off on watering altogether unless those leaves start rolling up like they're trying to do some yoga poses.

Then give them only a little sip of water so they can stay hydrated without getting too bloated and uncomfortable. You got this! 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this vibrant red sensation cabbage tree prefers to bask in at least six hours of bright, indirect light near a south-or west- facing window. The key is to keep it compact and maintain those gorgeous burgundy leaves. But beware, too much sun can lead to burns, so make sure you gradually increase exposure or bring it indoors. 

For outdoor cultivation, it prefers full sun to partial shade for 4-6 hours a day. If the cordyline plant is exposed to full sun for long periods of time, the leaves may become scorched and develop brown spots or patches. This can happen because the plant is not able to handle the intense heat and light of the full sun, and the leaves may dry out or become damaged. It is best to provide the plant with some shade during the hottest part of the day, especially in warmer climates, to prevent this from happening.  

And if your cordyline red isn't getting enough light, it'll start stretching toward its source. So, let's give your red sensation cordyline what it deserves - just the right amount of light to bloom into the ultimate showstopper! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your Cordyline succulent. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

If you don't mind getting a bit of dirt on your hands and are okay with a basic soil for your red sensation cordyline, then you can save some money and make your own mix by simply combing healthy natural garden soil with equal parts of sand or perlite.

When it comes to fertilizing your cordyline red sensation, remember that less is more. A small amount of natural fertilizer with an NPK equal ratio of 5-10-5 once a year in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a natural fertilizer ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil, without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your Cordyline australis red sensation some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, these cordyline red sensation plant thrive in warm temperatures ranging from 60 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't let them shiver below 50.  

While household humidity is generally good enough, these adorable Cordyline australis red sensation will do even better with some extra moisture in the air. Set up a humidifier nearby or grow them in naturally humid rooms like your bathroom or kitchen.  

For outdoor cultivation, the Cordyline red sensation plant is well-suited in USDA hardiness zone 9-11. It is important to protect the plant from frost and strong winds, as they can damage its vibrant foliage.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Cordyline Red Sensation is a stunning variety of Cordyline Australis with vibrant red foliage that adds a pop of color to any garden. Its striking appearance makes it a real showstopper! When it comes to care, this plant prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It's also quite hardy and can tolerate a range of conditions. Just make sure to water it regularly and protect it from frost in colder climates. With a little love and attention, your Cordyline Red Sensation will thrive and bring beauty to your space!

Give this succulent Cordyline red sensation, a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Great little sprayer
Size: 1-Gallon
This thing works really well. My only complaint is that you can't really get a tight cone on the mist setting. I wanted to be a little more precise, but it still got the job done. I would recommend this more for lawn treatments over bug spray (which is what I used it for), just because of the wide dispersal cone (especially indoors). However, it still works just fine, and gives a lot of coverage in a short amount of time. It does shoot a very precise stream out, but it's way too much liquid at once in my opinion. If you're wanting precision, you'll need to look elsewhere. As for the value, it's well worth it.

Chapin 1-gallon sprayer
Size: 1-Gallon, Size: 1-Gallon
★★★★★ Versatile Little Sprayer That’s Great Around the House, Garden & Garage. This Chapin 1-gallon sprayer has turned out to be one of the handiest tools I own. I originally bought it for spraying organic bug treatment and neem oil mixtures on my plants and garden, but I’ve ended up using it for several different things. The pump builds pressure quickly and the spray pattern adjusts easily from a fine mist to a stronger stream depending on what you’re doing. It sprays evenly and feels much more controlled than some of the cheaper sprayers I’ve tried in the past. One thing I like is keeping separate sprayers for different jobs. I use this one mainly for garden and plant care, while I keep another one strictly for bug spray and outdoor treatments so chemicals don’t get mixed together. It’s also useful outside the garden. You could easily use this for automotive detailing too — things like liquid waxes, degreasers, wheel cleaners, or spray-on protectants. The wand and hose feel durable, and the tank itself feels sturdy without being too heavy to carry around. Simple, reliable, easy to clean, and useful for way more than just gardening. Definitely worth having around the house or garage.

Works well. Easy to carry.
Size: 1-Gallon 2-Value Pack
My 2-gallon sprayer’s nozzle cracked — leading to Spectracide dribbles along my path through the yard…not good! Since a replacement nozzle cost as much as a new sprayer, so began the search for a new unit. I admit that lugging a full 2-gal sprayer around the yard, although it required no refilling, became quite tiring and blister-inducing; I then began reading reviews for 1-gal … Horror stories about bad seals, leaks, no pressure, etc. had me dismayed. However, since Amazon’s return policy is easy, I decided on this 2-pack of 1-gal Chapin 22000. If needing my usual 1.5-2 gallons of weed killer, I could always fill BOTH ahead of time and save myself some blisters and backache! Never having used pressurized sprayers WITHOUT pressure relief valves, I was slightly hesitant to buy these, though…well, I guess I’ll just have to be extremely careful to not get the poisonous spray on myself when removing the pump! ☠️ Sprayers arrived in perfect, brand new condition; all parts/pieces were received. Assembly was super easy, even WITHOUT referring to instruction manual — used channel locks to tighten the hose, as pliers could not be located and hands are not very strong. Tested/practiced with water. Got a feel for how many pumps were necessary and adjusted the spray tip to my preference. My last sprayer required opening the PRV and then squeezing sprayer to empty hose/release remaining pressure in order to be able to unscrew pump handle. The directions for THESE say to simply unscrew the handle a bit until you can hear the built-up pressure vent out. I did just that — no explosive spray to the face and the pump handle unscrewed easily. WHEW! So, today was the sprayer’s maiden voyage around the yard. I followed the directions to pump the handle until resistance is felt (maybe 8x?). WOW — so much easier to carry! Pressure is great — liquid shot out about 15’! Although the “feel” of the sprayer trigger is cheap and small (even for female hands), it was quite responsive and allowed for a steady stream with no leaks/dribbles. Happy with this purchase and hope I can get at least a few years out of them. 🤞🏼 Also, after I’d placed my order, I just happened to be in WM’s lawn/garden section… These are sold there, as well, for a higher price. They seem to be very popular, too, as nearly all were gone from the shelf.

Simple, Reliable Pump Sprayer with Easy Locking Trigger
Size: 1-Gallon
This pump sprayer is very straightforward to set up and gets ready for use quickly without any complicated assembly. The locking trigger is a standout feature since it allows continuous spraying without needing to constantly hold the handle down, which makes longer watering or treatment tasks much easier on the hand. The spray output feels consistent and controlled, and it works well for garden applications like fertilizer, herbicide, or general watering. The build quality feels solid enough for regular home and garden use, and the tank is easy to fill and pressurize without much effort. The handle and pump action feel smooth, and overall operation is simple and intuitive. Considering the ease of use, practical locking trigger, quick setup, and reliable performance, it offers good value for the money for everyday garden and yard maintenance tasks.
