Re: Cordyline indivisa

I'm not sure about sprouting them, but keeping them
cool and moist would make sense, as they grow in very
wet forest on Taranaki, up to rather high altitudes -
I believe as high as 6000 feet. Perhaps try some in a
peat/sand mix and others in a sphagnum moss medium. I
know Strybing, in SF, has had success sprouting them,
but not growing them in the long term. The ones at UC
Santa Cruz actually are bigger than any others I've
seen in California. When you plant them I suppose
keeping in mind the moist forest conditions where the
soil is covered in a layer of humus would make sense.
