Trouble with my Cordyline!
Hi All,
I have a problem with my Cordyline and was hoping you could help!!!
I recently bought a cordyline tree and transplanted it from it’s huge pot in to the ground about 1 month ago.
At first, all seemed OK, but recently I noticed that one of the heads wasn’t sprouting any new leaves. I was alarmed by this and so got a ladder and climbed up to see what was going on. I then found that the crown was rotting…
Additional information:-
- The soil in my area is clay like and quite heavy
- When I inspected the crown more closely, I noticed woodlice around there – not sure whether they are the cause or whether they’ve come because of the rotting?
- I haven’t had a chance to check the other head yet, but from the pics, it looks as though it is OK.
- The tree did flower...
- I’ve stopped watering it as I suspect it could be due to over watering, but not sure.
Is there anything that can be done to save the tree….?
Your advice would be much appreciated…
Amit
PS I have some pics if needed, but for some reason, when trying to upload them with this post failed!
