Bring a touch of exoticism and structure to your flower beds and containers with Dracaena indivisa, often sold under the name Cordyline indivisa or 'Spike Plant'. Known for its upright habit and long, sword-shaped green leaves that arch gracefully, it offers a striking contrast with other plants and adds lasting vertical interest throughout the season. Easy to care for and heat tolerant, it's a must-have for dynamic summer arrangements.

Characteristics

  • Foliage : The foliage consists of long, evergreen, rigid, sword-shaped leaves, green to light green in colour. They are inserted in a round pattern on an upright stem that forms a 'false trunk' with age. The foliage arches slightly outward as it grows older.
  • Light : Prefers full sun or partial shade. A minimum of 4 to 6 hours of sunlight is recommended.
  • Habit : Its habit is upright, with a strong central stem and foliage that forms an erect and slightly weeping silhouette along the edges.
  • Growth : Growth is relatively slow. When grown as an annual or in a pot, it generally reaches a height of 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches) and a spread of 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 inches). With many years in a pot and proper overwintering, it can reach 2 metres or more.
  • Humidity : Requires moisture. The soil must be well-drained to avoid excess moisture, which can lead to root rot or botrytis. Drought-tolerant once established.
  • Soil : Thrives in well-drained soil, preferably with a pH between 5.8 and 6.5. Avoid heavy clay soils. For pot cultivation, use a good quality well-drained potting mix. Be aware of fluoride toxicity in some soils/fertilizers that can cause brown spots on leaves (maintaining an adequate pH and avoiding superphosphate fertilizers can help).
  • Temperature : It is a tropical plant that does not tolerate frost. To keep it in colder climates, it must be brought indoors before the first frosts, ideally in a cool location (like an orangery or unheated veranda) with a minimum temperature around 10°C (50°F), or in a bright indoor location.
  • Watering : Water when the soil surface begins to dry. Maintain regular moisture but avoid standing water. Drought-tolerant once well-established, but appreciates regular watering in containers during hot weather.

Uses

  • Types of Use : Excellent as a 'thriller' (central vertical element) in mixed container arrangements, in individual pots on patios, balconies, and terraces, or integrated into flower beds as an annual to add height and textural contrast.
  • Decorative Advantages : Its graphic foliage and upright habit bring architectural interest and an instant exotic touch. It highlights flowering or lower-growing foliage plants around it. It is deer and rabbit resistant.

Care

  • Fertilization : Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring to late summer) with a balanced soluble fertilizer.
  • Pruning : No pruning is generally necessary. Yellowed or damaged leaves can be removed at the base as needed.
  • Planting :
    • Distance : If planted in the ground (as an annual), space plants 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 inches) apart. In containers, spacing depends on companion plants, but ensure good airflow.
    • Depth : Plant so that the root ball or the base of the plant is covered with soil.
    • Period : Plant outdoors in the spring after all risk of frost.

Fun read
Format: Paperback
My son says he doesnt enjoy reading but once he gets going he quickly gets pulled in. He said he'd seen the Epic books at school and he typically liked them, so we gave it a try. He read it in about 2 days, its summer so its amazing he read to begin with, but in asking him, he said it was a good story and it was easy to read. Honestly I like my kids to have books that are easy to read but will throw in the occasional big word as a learning opportunity. The book quality itself is really nice. From cover to cover the book is well made and feels durable. The illustrations are bright and well done. Overall I would highly recommend this to any child who might enjoy time travel with a touch of history.

A fun, comic style book
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My fourth grader really enjoyed this book and asked if it was a part of a series. We didn't sit down and read it in one setting and usually when that happens we forget to come back and finish a book..... But she didn't forget about this one. Will probably reread it in the future too. The pages are nice quality and the colors are bright. The print is a little bit on the teeny side; But that's pretty typical in comic style print. We were really happy with it! I think a kid as young as second or third grade could also enjoy this book if they are reading skills are a little on the stronger side. I've sat with 5th graders who would read it this level too.

Fun read
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Kids had fun reading this book. My 7 year old thought it was lot of fun. My 11 year old thought the story had few holes where people and events were happening without any explanation. But overall, both had fun reading it. The book is made really well - it's beautifully illustrated and printed well. The behind-the-scene look at the how the characters were drawn was really neat as well.
