Watering & Humidity 

Make sure the water is tepid and only water once the top of the soil starts to dry out. If possible use rain or distilled water as the cordyline can be fussy about water quality.

Temperature
Avoid cold or warm drafts and temperatures below 15 Celsius. Most indoor temperatures will be fine (18-27 Celsius)
