Cordylines (aka cabbage trees) are notoriously difficult to transplant. They have fleshy roots that don’t take easily to being chopped off and the roots go down farther than you’d imagine.Click to see full answer. Just so, can I move a Cordyline?If you’d like to move a Cordyline tree it’s much easier than other trees because the root forms one big ball near the base like a palm, so you just need to water heavily, dig around to find the root mass and clear soil without damaging the roots. This is obviously easier to do when the tree is still small.Furthermore, can you transplant a large Cordyline? Cordyline australis, particularly older well established large plants can be rather difficult to transplant as they resent their root ball being disturbed. If the plant is still looking healthy after the 2-3 months dig the plant out completely. Thereof, how do you transplant Cordyline plants? If your soil is very clayey, when replanting your cordyline we’d suggest you only dig a shallow hole and mound a quality good draining soil up around the root ball. If you plant it too deep in clay soil the hole will act like a bucket and just hold the water.Can you separate Cordylines?Shake off the soil around the roots and, using sharp secateurs, divide the plant up, taking care to keep each little plant intact. I usually remove all the leaves at this point, too. Many plants, such as begonias, geraniums, daisies and tropical cordylines, are really easy to grow from cuttings.
