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! |
Hopefully these pics will help demonstrate my problem better!

Thanks Charlie, your advice is much appreciated.
Going to remove as much of the rotten bit as I can now and keep my fingers crossed! |
