- Botanical Name: Cordyline fruticosa 'Calypso Queen'
- Common Name(s): Calypso Queen,
- Description: Bring a pop of color to your plant collection! These deep purple and pink Cordylines are simple to take care of and can grow to be quite big. Cordylines are in the dracaena family, so they like medium to bright indirect light - avoid direct sunlight as it can burn their leaves. They like their soil moist (but not soggy) at all times, but can tolerate a bit of drought if you're not the most attentive plant parent. Water less in the winter. They prefer distilled or rain water, or tap water that has been left out overnight - chemicals in fresh tap water can harm their leaves and root systems.
Why choose Cordyline 'Calypso Queen'
- Eye-catching strappy, often colorful leaves on an upright cane
- A characterful, rewarding houseplant
- Approachable, houseplant-friendly care
Looks best: a lower-light corner.

- Nursery pot and soil included; a decorative planter only if you select one.
- Live plants vary in height, fullness and leaf count within the pot size you choose; we do not publish measured shipping heights.
Will it suit your home?

Care and common questions
- Light: Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' adapts from low to bright, indirect light — brighter light gives fuller growth. Avoid intense, direct sun.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' likes to dry out a bit between waterings and dislikes soggy soil. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: Sensitive to fluoride and salts — brown leaf tips are common; use filtered, distilled, or rainwater if you can.
- Care tip: Give it the right light and consistent watering, and Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' stays full and healthy.
How often should I water Cordyline 'Calypso Queen'?
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. It prefers to dry out a little between waterings rather than stay soggy.
What kind of light does Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' need?
Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' adapts from low to bright, indirect light — brighter light gives fuller growth. Avoid intense, direct sun.
Is Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' pet safe?
No. Cordyline 'Calypso Queen' is considered toxic to cats and dogs if eaten, so keep it out of reach of pets.
Why does my dracaena have brown leaf tips?
Brown tips alone, with healthy new growth, usually come from salts or fluoride in tap water or from dry air — switch to filtered, distilled, or rainwater and trim the tips. If the mix stays wet and lower leaves are yellowing too, it is overwatering — let it dry further between waterings and check the drainage hole.
