About Cordyline australis

Cordyline australis, commonly known as the Cabbage Tree or New Zealand Cabbage Palm, is a striking and versatile plant native to New Zealand. It is popular in gardens and landscapes worldwide for its architectural form, drought tolerance, and distinctive foliage.

The Cabbage Tree typically features a single, slender trunk topped with a cluster of long, sword-shaped leaves that are dark green or variegated, depending on the variety. The leaves can grow up to 1 meter (3 feet) long, creating a spiky, palm-like appearance. Over time, the plant may develop multiple trunks, adding to its sculptural look.

In late spring to early summer, Cordyline australis produces fragrant, creamy-white flowers on tall, branching panicles, followed by small, white to bluish fruits. This plant can reach heights of 10-20 meters (33-66 feet) in its native habitat, though it often remains smaller in cultivation.

Architectural Beauty & Drought Tolerance: Cordyline australis is an attractive and hardy plant that adds a bold, tropical touch to gardens and landscapes. Its dramatic foliage and easy care make it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Growing Conditions

Light Requirements

Cordyline australis thrives in full sun to partial shade. It performs best in sunny locations where it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily, but it can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.

Temperature Requirements

This plant prefers mild to warm climates and can tolerate a range of temperatures, from cool to subtropical. It is hardy down to about -9 °C (15 °F), making it suitable for temperate regions. In areas with severe winters, protection or container growing may be necessary.

Soil Requirements

The Cabbage Tree prefers well-draining, fertile soil but can adapt to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils. It thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil conditions. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot and ensure optimal plant health.

Water Requirements

Once established, Cordyline australis is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Afterward, water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Overwatering should be avoided, particularly in cooler climates.

Planting & Care Guide

Planting Instructions

Location: Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and well-draining soil. Hole Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the root ball. Backfilling: Backfill with soil and water thoroughly. Container Growing: If planting in a container, use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.

Fertilization Program

Feed Cordyline australis with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring. An annual application of compost or organic mulch can also help maintain soil fertility and retain moisture.

Maintenance Requirements

Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. As the plant grows, lower leaves may naturally yellow and die; these can be removed to keep the plant looking its best. In colder climates, mulch around the base to protect roots during winter.

Growing from Seeds

Seed Preparation

Fresh seeds generally have the best germination rates. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the seed coat and improve germination success.

Sowing Instructions

Sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a combination of sand, perlite, and peat. Plant the seeds about 1 cm (0.4 inches) deep and cover lightly with soil.

Germination Conditions

Temperature: Place the seed tray in a warm, bright area with temperatures around 20-25 °C (68-77 °F). Moisture: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Timing: Germination can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings appear, provide bright, indirect light and continue to keep the soil moist. Transplant seedlings into individual pots or into the garden once they are large enough to handle and the weather is warm enough for outdoor growth.

The Silent, Obsessive Predator in the War on Filth: A Dispatch on the eufy L60
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
Dateline: My Living Room Floor, a Battlefield of Invisible Grime, 1:30 AM. The house is quiet. The world is asleep. But in the darkness, a hunter stirs. It detaches itself from its charging dock with a soft, electronic whir, its single laser-eye pulsing with a cool, blue light. This is not a vacuum cleaner. This is the eufy L60, an autonomous, dirt-seeking assassin, and it is beginning its nightly patrol. To call what this machine does "mapping" is a gross understatement. This is military-grade reconnaissance. On its maiden voyage, the L60 didn't just bumble around bumping into things. No, it conducted a systematic, laser-guided survey of my entire living space, rendering a perfect, eerily accurate floor plan on my phone. It knows the terrain. It has identified the chair legs, the table supports, the treacherous geography of the area rug. It has logged the coordinates of every obstacle. It is operating with a level of tactical awareness that would make a special forces operative blush. And then, the hunt begins. With 5,000 Pascals of raw, unadulterated suction power, it doesn't just "pick up" dirt; it inhales it. It moves in straight, deliberate, overlapping lines, a methodical grid search that leaves no square inch un-scoured. Dust, crumbs, the detritus of a life lived with a certain amount of reckless abandon—all of it vanishes into its maw. And hair… good heavens, the hair. It attacks strands of human and pet hair with a special kind of ferocity, its "Hair Detangling Technology" acting like a tiny, internal machete, chopping the stuff up before it can choke the machinery. It is a savage and beautiful solution to an ancient and vexing problem. But the true genius, the feature that elevates this from a clever gadget to a genuine domestic revolution, is the self-empty station. This monolith is not just a charger; it is the L60's base of operations. After its patrol is complete, the little predator dutifully returns to the dock. And then you hear it—a ferocious, ten-second roar, like a miniature jet engine firing up. That is the sound of every speck of filth the robot has collected being violently sucked from its belly into a sealed bag within the tower. The result? You don't have to do a thing. For up to 60 days, this silent partnership continues. The robot hunts, it cleans, it reports back to its base, it unloads its grim bounty, and it prepares for the next mission. You are completely removed from the dirtiest part of the process. This eufy L60 is not just an appliance; it's a quantum leap. It is a quiet, frighteningly intelligent, and ruthlessly efficient solution to the endless, soul-crushing war against domestic filth. It maps its battlefield with perfect precision, it hunts its prey with relentless power, and it handles its own dirty work. It is, without a doubt, the single greatest ally you could ever have in the quest for a clean floor. Absolutely amazing.

Waste of money
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
This vacuum is a total let down. It cleans well enough however it has lost its network connection every month since I have owned it. Not only do I have to take 20 minutes to get it to finally reconnect, but it also wipes out the map that is stored. So I can’t clean until it re-maps the floor, I have to re-divide the rooms, and ultimately can’t clean for close to 2 hours when I need it most. Don’t waste your time with this unit unless you want to deal with network issues every month

Great Price, Great Quality, Save your money from other over priced Brands
I absolutely love this! Just as good as any of the more expensive brands! It has great cleaning abilities and is able to get in every corner and crevice. This quality is amazing and it has a mapping feature with a remote to set it up. Powerful suction, connects to the wifi easily and has a perfect spin rate so it doesn't miss a thing! My biggest issue is that I wasn't using it as much as I should! Make sure you set up a timer and it will take care of the rest!

Growing up with robots...
I'll spare you the obvious and only mention in passing that this is obviously a Roomba-wannabee. That aside, it turns out to be a pretty good R-wbee. Which is unsurprising since I combed through a couple of different comparison YouTube videos, both of which ranked this model near the top of their lists in the category of powerful vacuum robot on a budget. This lil sucker is indeed quite effective. I only have a carpeted bedroom, so it doesn't wander much, but it easily traverses even the bulged or steeped edges of my old burber carpeting. Like any such device, if you're going to leave it unattended, you will need to clear away any cords or other small debris (anything up to about popcorn size will just get vacuumed). I empty mine every other time I use it, and it's rarely brimming over. The only problems I've encountered have always been some kind of cordage or wire or string getting wrapped around the spinning scrubber unit--easily corrected. I'm very happy with the remote. I tend to use it mostly as a remote controlled vacuum device; ie, me lazily stalking behind it, using the remote to reverse it or to bring it back round for a second pass, til I'm satisfied. In addition to allowing N-S-E-W directions, you can also press and hold a direction button to make it speed up. You can also toggle between carpet and hardwood mode. The device charges pretty quickly and usually lets me get 2 to 3 large room sessions completed before displaying low battery. I will note that my kitten was a mere 3 months old when I got this device and she has literally grown up with it. It long ago stopped frightening her and now she regards this device as a friend and playmate to such an extent that I had to move the charging dock from a floor corner to a low dresser drawer--because when I left it out in the open, my cat would always manage to depress the big GO button and send it off partially charged, destined to tangle up my charging cables and neckties. So if you plan on letting your cat grow up with this robot, take precautions. I would definitely buy another one of these, and probably will. Recommended.

Jury is still out
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed), Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
I really didn't want to purchase another Eufy product. I'm very mad at them because they're security doorbell cameras failing so readily (like a hardwired doorbell that stops working and gives me the input that there's no batteries even after we had it rewired.) And I caution everyone I am not a fan of their customer service anymore. Years ago it used to be fantastic. It is rare today, when you send in a request for help that anyone fully reads what your expressing. You get scripted answers or links to technical information that you've already told them in previous communications you've tried. Anyway... We have a dumber, earlier version of the Eufy vacuum cleaner that is about 5 years old --recently replaced the battery because I really love how well it draws up dirt and hair... Though the little chamber constantly gets jam-packed and the machine always gets stuck. I decided to move that one upstairs and get a smarter vac (only) and looked into several that could manage pet hair and that had good mapping and the ability to avoid scooping up toys etc. What I like is the software's easy (much friendlier than Narwal!). I think the mapping was perfect right out of the gate. Ease of splitting out larger areas into rooms is just wonderful. The on-screen guidance as you're using this software is mostly excellent. I really like how you can choose a setting that the vacuum will go to recharge and re-start itself back into motion to finish the job that wasn't finished when it went kaput. I like that you can choose the frequency of having the vacuum empty into the charging station. These two features that I just mentioned are a little bit hidden under settings. I think tabs would be nice for some pictures like this. I don't like that it only has one rotating brush. The older Eufy has two and I think it's a much better design to sweep things into the suction range. I like the quiet of this vacuum. The older version was quiet and this one is quieter yet. As a matter of fact it worries me because the difference in suction sound makes it seem as though it really isn't changing at all. I am not so sure the suction is as effective as It's been bragged about in its right up and in other reviews... it's actually gone over places on my carpet and it really didn't pull up all the fur. (That is in the video) I have also watched it go over small pieces of cardboard from a scratching post and it didn't pick it up... Again if the brush was there on that side it would have been pushed into the suction path better. I am not a fan of how it seems to not know how to avoid things. When setting up and getting ready to map your home with the LIDAR, the guidance is to take everything off the floor that is possible. Of course I put things back down like the tall cat toy that that has absolute presence, no different than a small cat --and the vacuum just runs right into it and starts pushing it...Our cat food bowls and water bowls just get pushed around. And the vacuum simply runs right into any toy and doesn't bother going around any of it so I would be sure you DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A CAT OR DOG THAT LEAVES MESSES ON THE FLOOR! Also on some things that were not picked up like the kitchen table, I don't get how come this vacuum just runs into it with full speed. Also it is very weird that it has a real problem transitioning to rugs. I have a leather throw rug that stays in place with people and animals going across it. But this machine's able to nose it up into the air and then get tangled in it. It means that when I have my schedule in place I have to roll up this carpet and my toilet carpets. As you can guess it's annoying. I also found it odd that when I'm trying to have it avoid going over something I will stand in place and despite the fact that it is vacuuming according to a grid it actually came back and circled and bumped into my feet five times before it finally gave up. What if that was an animal that was standing there? Would it bump into it also? There are reviews on here that are so much more detailed. All I can say is I tried a Roomba (returned it to store) and I tried the Narwal (The mapping was awful and I returned that one also.) I'm simply not wanting to return another vacuum. I do want to note that I purchased this one and accidentally ordered a 'used' model which means somebody else returned it. I have a feeling it has to do with this weird occasional click click click sound that makes it sound as though something is stuck in the rollers or something to that effect. Now that I finished muddling through this review I do know that this week I'll be getting in touch with Eufy. I can't help but wonder is this really the way this thing is supposed to be working. Oh, I did get the setup with the vacuum bag tower. As others have said it is extremely loud. The feature that reportedly cuts cat hair also has some volume to it, but for all its noise I don't think it really cuts but maybe 50% of the hair. I still have to manually clean the roll brush frequently. See photo.
