Hello everyone
I'm new on here 
and need help please!! I have a 2/3 yr old Cordyline in a pot, my poor plant is and has been losing the bottom leaves (not sure of the correct term, sorry) for the last couple of months.
The whole plant looks healthy no brown, growing well. But every couple of days some more have dropped off.
Can anyone please advice me, as I don't want to lose it

Hello and welcome. How big is the pot that your cordyline is growing in? It could be that it is pot bound. Have you given it any feed as they should get a feed every month through the summer. Some leaf loss is a natural part of plant growth. If you could possibly put up a picture so we can see the plant it would help us to identify any problems.
doubt you have problems, poss just natural growth. My parents never really looked after theirs apart from re potting in to larger pots till it became about 10ft tall and dad build a massive wooden planter. it was blinking heavy.
BTW hello
it's just a normal part of the growth i'd say, i have one in the ground and it has just started losing bottom leaves, it's how the trunk gets taller, i don't feed mine ever and they are healthy, not sure about when it's in a pot.
