About Cordyline Compacta - Ti Plant (Cordyline fruticosa 'Compacta')
Cordyline is a common decorative plant that turns up under several names at garden centres, and the most popular indoor form, Cordyline fruticosa, is often sold as "Ti Plant". This 'Compacta' cultivar keeps a dense, upright rosette of glossy strap-shaped leaves, giving it a tidy, tabletop-friendly form compared with taller Cordyline varieties.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light; some direct morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun which can scorch leaves.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; dry indoor air can cause leaf-tip browning.
Placement
A bright spot indoors, away from cold drafts and heater vents, works best for this plant.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry; use filtered or rested water if tap water is heavily chlorinated/fluoridated.
- Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Repotting: Every 1-2 years, or when roots fill the pot.
- Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged lower leaves; otherwise minimal.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Mildly to moderately toxic to cats and dogs if ingested (contains saponins) - can cause vomiting and drooling. Keep away from pets that chew plants.

FAQs
FAQs
Is Cordyline Compacta the same as a Ti Plant?
Yes — Cordyline fruticosa is commonly sold as 'Ti Plant', and 'Compacta' is a dense, more compact cultivar of the same species.
Is it safe around pets?
It contains saponins and is mildly to moderately toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, which can cause vomiting and drooling — keep it away from pets that chew plants.
Why are my leaf tips turning brown?
Cordyline can be sensitive to chlorine/fluoride in tap water and to dry indoor air — filtered water and slightly higher humidity usually help.
How much light does it need?
Bright, indirect light is ideal; some direct morning sun is fine, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.
