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!

Just what I was looking for to slow my large dog while eating
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler, Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler
I needed something for my 50-pound dog to slow down her eating. The usual slow-feeder bowls and mats weren't really slowing her down much and I wanted her to have to think a little bit. She's not smart enough for puzzles though. So I got this kibble dispensing toy. My dog is not a chewer so I don't have to worry about her destroying it. LOVE: holds a little more than a cup of kibble, dispenses different sized kibbles, heavy weight so it wobbled around a lot without going too far away, QUIET- I couldn't bear the noise of hard plastic dispensers clacking around and this one is very quiet on our hardwood floors, kept the dog busy for at least 20 minutes. It's really all I was hoping it would be. And, well, as you can see in the video, the cat is happy about it too... As with all of these dispensers, there will be a couple of kibbles left inside that are hard to get out. But that gave my dog something to do overnight. She spent a long time getting that last kibble out. The slight scent they add to the natural rubber is not a problem at all. This dispenser is absolutely worth the money, it's going to last us a very, very long time.

People are doin it wrong
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Cone
Cheap and durable and huge. The bad reviews are from people who aren’t using it right. Step 1) plug hole with a smear of peanut butter. 2) put a low calorie but appetizing mix of whatever you want: yogurt, pate, pumpkin puree, blended with frozen veggies on the walls 3) freeze cone for 30 mins. Hole will be sufficiently plugged to add liquid. 4) fill the rest with water or bone broth and freeze overnight to make it a changing ice block.

Skye's Absolute Favorite Ball! 🐾
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Ball
Hello, I am Skye! I am an Australian Mountain Doodle puppy, and my humans finally found a ball that can keep up with me! The Benebone Natural Rubber Dog Ball is officially my prized possession. Why I give it five paws: The Perfect Chew: It is made of natural rubber, which means it has this amazing, springy texture that feels so good on my teeth. It's super tough, but it still has a satisfying squish when I chomp down on it. Funky Bounces: Because of the rubber and the design, it doesn't just roll in a boring straight line. When it hits the floor, it bounces all over the place in crazy directions, which makes chasing it so exciting. Easy to Carry: The texture makes it really easy for me to grab with my paws and hold onto in my mouth, even when it gets a little slobbery during a long game of fetch.

So far this is the perfect alternative to other wobble toy feeders. Please make a bigger size!
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Pawbler
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought the Pawbler because the two most popular wobble treat feeders on the market are plastic, and one of my dogs just absolutely destroys those in no time because he bites them and throws them rather then nudging them and then he has plastic cutting him so I am forced to throw away a costly treat toy/dispenser. I thought maybe a rubber one would work out better. So far my dogs love it, it works well spitting out their kibble, seems to be holding up and is easy to clean and feels like a good weight, not a super flimsy toy. I would love to see it made in a slightly larger size, I think this current size is good for medium dogs. It holds just under a cup of small round kibble but I would like to see one that can hold more and is slightly larger in size. I have 4 german shorthaired pointers, my test subject for this toy is mostly my 70 pounder who bites the toys instead of nudging them and throws them across the room, so it is taking a beating. I think for him a larger size would be helpful in deterring that behavior but I also think this may be too small for larger breeds. Durability: So far this toy looks just like when I bought it. It has no punctures or scratches and unscrews without problem. We have only had it a week or so but we use puzzle/toy feeders to feed our dogs lunch every day so it is pretty easy to tell which toys won't last long. Obviously, I can't speak to long-term durability at the moment, but I can say that most toys similar to this end up already scratched or punctured in a few days, so this is already sturdier when compared to what I have tried before.

Well made and durable, not a toy the pups seek out
Size: 1 Pack, Style: Tug
Well made. Thought our staffies would love since they live tugging with each other. Sadly not something they seek out. We love ALL the benebone chews though!
