The growth rate and leaf color of Large Leaf Xerox will vary greatly depending on season, soil type, sunlight, temperature and other factors. Cordyline, Hawaiian Ti leaves are very sensitive to temperature changes and seasons. Even a simple red leaf variety can explode with neon pink, chocolate, white and orange colorations with the slightest change. Lower leaves are often trimmed prior to shipping to reduce transpiration and travel stress.
When you receive your new Cordyline, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to the bucket to keep your Large Leaf Xerox standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Hawaiian Ti.
