How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.

Native Context and Background
Cordyline fruticosa is native to tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands, where it grows as a woody shrub or small tree. Beyond ornamental value, it holds cultural significance in Polynesia and Southeast Asia. 'New Conga' is a horticultural selection developed for its particularly bold white-green variegation, making it a refined choice for indoor collections.
Care Tips for Cordyline fruticosa 'New Conga'
- Light: Bright, indirect light enhances variegation; tolerates some direct morning sun
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+)
- Temperature: Optimal range is 18 – 28 °C; protect from cold drafts
- Soil mix: Rich, well-draining substrate with organic matter
- Fertilizer: Balanced liquid feed every 4 – 6 weeks in the growing season
Seasonal Growth Behaviour
'New Conga' is evergreen, maintaining colourful foliage year-round. Under stable indoor conditions it produces new leaves steadily from the crown, creating a continuous flush of green-and-white variegation that intensifies with good light exposure.
Common Problems and Solutions
- Leaf tip browning: Often due to low humidity or fluoride in tap water
- Pale foliage: Caused by insufficient light; reposition closer to a bright window
- Root damage: Avoid overwatering and ensure pots have adequate drainage
- Pest risk: May attract scale insects or spider mites; inspect regularly
Safety and Placement Notes
Cordylines are ornamental plants and should not be ingested by pets or children. Place 'New Conga' in a bright location where its bold foliage can serve as a natural focal point.
Etymology of Cordyline
The genus name Cordyline derives from the Greek kordyle, meaning “club,” in reference to the thickened rhizomes characteristic of the group. The cultivar 'New Conga' extends this heritage with an artistic variegation pattern that looks as if painted by hand.
