Leaf discoloration, any suggestions?

    It could be due to a number of things, the size of the container, the soil medium, when it was last repotted, overwatering, location, climate. Cordylines are really not happy in containers after a couple of years. If you can find a location in the ground it will be better. The red ones are always a bit sickly looking in my opinion. Your Phormium looks very good though!

    In habitat cordylines have a taproot roughly as deep as the plant is tall. I'd recommend planting it in the ground if you can.

    Mine looked like they were dying last year but seem to have picked up on their own. Might think about putting them in the soil this year.
