Origin
The Cordyline fruticosa 'Mambo', also known as the Ti Plant, has its origin in the tropical areas of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. To be more specific, this houseplant is native to countries such as Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. Despite its tropical origins, it is adapting to more temperate climates and is now being cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant.

Characteristics
The Cordyline fruticosa 'Mambo' is distinguished by its vibrant, narrow, shiny dark red leaves that can reach a height of 50 to 60 centimeters. This plant is an evergreen, perennial plant with a woody stem. It adds a beautiful, tropical appearance to any space with its striking, long leaves. With good care, small white, star-shaped flowers sometimes form.

Care
The Cordyline fruticosa 'Mambo' requires some attention and care to thrive. The plant needs a lot of light but does not tolerate direct sunlight. In addition, the 'Mambo' prefers a well-draining soil and moderate water; it is better to give less rather than too much water. The ideal temperature for this houseplant is between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. Regular fertilising during the growing season is recommended to promote optimal growth.
