Introducing the Cordyline 'red sensation', a vibrant member of the Cordyline australis! Hailing from New Zealand, this Cordyline's narrow sword-like leaves bring an unmatched style and structure to any landscape, serving as nature's very own fashion statement.

The Cordyline red sensation has several other common names such as Cabbage palm 'Red sensation', Cabbage tree 'red sensation', New Zealand Cabbage palm, and red grass palm. This evergreen perennial palm-like tree is like the rockstar of the cordyline genus. 


With its wider, spikier burgundy foliage that is distinct from the cordyline red star and remains vibrant and lush all year round.

Standing tall at 20 feet high and spreading outwards from 10 feet wide, this slow-growing evergreen tree knows how to make an entrance.

This cordyline red sensation plant is so versatile that you can grow it in containers on your patio or even bring it indoors for some serious potted plant glamour.

The flowers of the red sensation cordyline bloom during the late spring to summer, with the stunning white flowers with an enchanting fragrance that will have both you and the buzzing bees weak at the knees. With its deep burgundy-red color, this plant oozes richness without any fuss or hassle of dealing with delicate flowers.

Traditional medicine uses red cordyline plant leaves for wounds, headaches, and respiratory infections, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; consult a healthcare expert for proper dosage. It is a friendly succulent for both humans and pets.

Cordyline red sensation propagation can be easily done through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem at least 6 inches long, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a pot with well-draining soil to root. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Watering Needs 

As with all succulents, resist the urge to constantly douse it with water like it's a thirsty marathon runner. Instead, give your Cordyline red sensation plant some slow and deep hydration only after the soil has completely dried out - think desert rainfall rather than monsoon season.  

Pro Watering Tip

Remember, don't even think about watering from overhead unless you want your cordyline plant to feel like it's caught in an unexpected rainstorm (spoiler alert: that's not good).

When winter rolls around and your plant begins to go semi-dormant, hold off on watering altogether unless those leaves start rolling up like they're trying to do some yoga poses.

Then give them only a little sip of water so they can stay hydrated without getting too bloated and uncomfortable. You got this! 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, this vibrant red sensation cabbage tree prefers to bask in at least six hours of bright, indirect light near a south-or west- facing window. The key is to keep it compact and maintain those gorgeous burgundy leaves. But beware, too much sun can lead to burns, so make sure you gradually increase exposure or bring it indoors. 

For outdoor cultivation, it prefers full sun to partial shade for 4-6 hours a day. If the cordyline plant is exposed to full sun for long periods of time, the leaves may become scorched and develop brown spots or patches. This can happen because the plant is not able to handle the intense heat and light of the full sun, and the leaves may dry out or become damaged. It is best to provide the plant with some shade during the hottest part of the day, especially in warmer climates, to prevent this from happening.  

And if your cordyline red isn't getting enough light, it'll start stretching toward its source. So, let's give your red sensation cordyline what it deserves - just the right amount of light to bloom into the ultimate showstopper! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use well-drained soil that is designed specifically for your Cordyline succulent. These specialty soil mixes have been precisely developed to imitate well-draining desert soils. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains over 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

If you don't mind getting a bit of dirt on your hands and are okay with a basic soil for your red sensation cordyline, then you can save some money and make your own mix by simply combing healthy natural garden soil with equal parts of sand or perlite.

When it comes to fertilizing your cordyline red sensation, remember that less is more. A small amount of natural fertilizer with an NPK equal ratio of 5-10-5 once a year in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a natural fertilizer ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil, without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your Cordyline australis red sensation some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, these cordyline red sensation plant thrive in warm temperatures ranging from 60 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't let them shiver below 50.  

While household humidity is generally good enough, these adorable Cordyline australis red sensation will do even better with some extra moisture in the air. Set up a humidifier nearby or grow them in naturally humid rooms like your bathroom or kitchen.  

For outdoor cultivation, the Cordyline red sensation plant is well-suited in USDA hardiness zone 9-11. It is important to protect the plant from frost and strong winds, as they can damage its vibrant foliage.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Cordyline Red Sensation is a stunning variety of Cordyline Australis with vibrant red foliage that adds a pop of color to any garden. Its striking appearance makes it a real showstopper! When it comes to care, this plant prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It's also quite hardy and can tolerate a range of conditions. Just make sure to water it regularly and protect it from frost in colder climates. With a little love and attention, your Cordyline Red Sensation will thrive and bring beauty to your space!

Give this succulent Cordyline red sensation, a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Liked so much, I bought TWICE!
Color: 23 - Ice Blue, Size: Twin
These sheets are such a great quality for the price. They feel soft and comfortable right out of the package and make the bed feel so much more cozy. I’ve washed them multiple times and they still feel great with no fading or pilling. The fit is also excellent — the fitted sheet stays securely in place and doesn’t slide off the corners during the night. I was so happy with the comfort and overall quality that I ended up purchasing a second set. Definitely worth the money and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable, well-fitting sheets at a great price.

Finally we BOTH can sleep comfy!
Color: 08 - Black, Size: Queen
So for years my boyfriend has always liked “jersey sheets” or “tee shirt” sheets or sheets made of flannel. He says he doesn’t like the feeling of cold “silky” feeling sheets as he’s always cold. I’m opposite and am always hot, and anytime we stayed in a nice hotel I looked forward to being able to sleep on cooler, taught, soft sheets for a couple of nights. I was able to deal with our old sheets but the issue we both hated was after awhile any sheet we got would get pilling. We even splurged and got a $60 flannel sheet which did the same thing forcing me to shave off these little annoying fuzz balls that make it feels like there is thousands of crumbs on the sheets. I also would wash our bedding once a week because the Jersey sheets seemed to “grow” as we move around in bed making it so the sheet was not taught and super annoying to lay on. The day I would wash them they would be comfortable but ultimately by the end of the week they would be almost hanging off our mattress. I ordered these sheets on a whim and got them the same day and immediately just threw out the jersey sheet and put this on (I didn’t even wash it, I know it’s gross but I was desperate for a comfy nights sleep and they came around 8pm) when I put them on I realized how soft and comfortable they felt. I also liked how the pillow cases are larger than most pillow cases that I have had in the past. We’ve been using these sheets for about a week and I love how I don’t wake up with my pillow popping out of the case anymore. The sheets have loosed ever so slightly since a week of sleeping but still are really taught and comfortable. They are cooler than flannel or fabric sheets and are initially cold when you first lay on them but I wouldn’t consider them “cooling” but they keep me from feeing extremely hot. They are way better than I ever would have expected for the price. I look forward to laying on them at the end of each day, even my boyfriend laid in bed the day I got them and said “wow I didn’t think I would like sheets like this, these are so soft!” And fell asleep immediately. We ended up ordering a second set in grey and the color is pretty. I still have yet to wash them, I usually use 2 tide pods when washing the bedding but I might get some fabric softener (as I hear it helps with pilling) to prevent the possibility of having that happen to these sheets in the future. I am hoping they hold up well after the wash and longer use. If they start to pill after wash, I will come back and update my review. Until then, I would highly recommend these sheets for the quality and the price point that they are offered at. Honestly, at this point even if they pill months from now I probably wouldn’t even be upset as long as they stay the same price I would just buy another set as they are just that comfortable and soft. UPDATE: So it has been about 3 months since I have purchase and used these sheets. They are still as soft as the day I first put them on. I’ve been washing them bi-weekly along with my comforter and pillowcases. I wash them with warm water using a combination of tide pods and added Downy fabric softener. They say to hang dry them in the description but I have been putting them in the dryer on medium and have been taking them out after around 20-25 minutes, they seem to dry extremely quickly. They have yet to have absolutely any pilling and also have not shrunk or stretched. Also I have a cat that is very active and also sleeps with me who enjoys kneading on my bed and I haven’t even noticed any signs of wear what so ever to the eye or to the feel. I highly recommend these sheets. I still have yet to even open the second set I purchased!
