This question is on Cordyline australis
Help ive replanted my cordyline and its looking brown at the bottom and this appears to be moving upwards. Its 4ft high and i would like to save the plant as its taken 4 years to grow.

To keep them looking neat, you can pull these off. I have done this on all of mine. It's just the old leaves from previous years.

Hi, this is quite normal. if you want height to your cordylines, then it is best to remove most of the bottom section anyway, as this promotes the growth upwards, and produces a fuller, healthier plant.

Hi
I have three of these and they all have gone like that. Seems to me that it is just the old leaves dieing off.
The two ruby cordylines I have are looking a bit down, but I shall be giving them a good feed.
