Temperature: It prefers warmer temperatures and is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It's sensitive to cold and frost, so protect it from freezing temperatures.

Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance. Remove spent flower stalks if they develop.
Pest and Disease Management: Cordylines are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, they might occasionally face issues like spider mites or mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly.
