    This is my cordyline

    It's not very clear from the picture but the leaves are going all brown and patchy. What can I do or is it game over?

    Looks tatty, but id say its probably alive. Does the centre look ok - are there small new leaves emerging?

    These little red cordylines are not as hardy as the green variety and have been suffering from the cold weather and winds we have been having
    The three I have are all looking very sad at the moment too. I think they will be fine, so don't despair :)

    Mine looked like that at the start of last summer, but it grew loads of new leaves and looked great again, after no protection and all the snow this winter it looks worse than that at the moment but I am going to pot it on in some new compost, cut off the worst of the leaves and I hope it will come back like last year xx
