We always recommend to immediately repot a purchased plant into a larger sized pot, because the pots sold are usually completely rooted. It allows the plant to root more, grow more and it's better for keeping the soil moist.
Most often the plant is around the minimum size. The height of the plant is always incl. pot height. Its actual height depends on the various sources of supply and how long the plant has been staying and growing in our stock environment.

Frequently asked questions, FAQ
Is the Cordyline hardy?
The cordyline can withstand cold up to a wind chill (i.e. depending on how much wind there is) of 15 degrees below zero. Below that it needs to be protected.
How to protect a Cordyline against frost / Winter
When the cold gets below -15 degrees, protection is necessary for the survival of a Cordyline. This is done by wrapping fleece (a breathable thin cloth) around the canopy, so that the wind is blocked. If the Cordyline is standing in the ground, then no protection for the root ball is needed. But if it is standing in an uninsulated pot, then the root ball must also be protected. This is done by wrapping bubble wrap plastic (or other insulating material) around the pot, so that the wind no longer has any influence through the edge of the pot.
When watering the Cordyline?
When the Cordyline is outside, it needs little water during the winters, almost none. But during the hot days of summer, it needs water every day, sometimes twice on the hottest days. In between, it can be once every 2-4 days, depending on the temperature. You can feel this from the soil. If the soil is fairly moist, the Cordyline still has enough water.
What kind of soil does the Cordyline want?
A Cordyline loves good nutrient soil. For example, you can spoil the root ball with a bag of Florentus Mediterranean nutrient soil, specially developed for Mediterranean plants such as the Cordyline.
How to prune / cut a Cordyline?
For a Cordyline, it is possible for leaves to become dry and die off. You can simply cut them close to the core, or cut them off from the point where the leaves become dry. The Cordyline does not suffer from this.
When putting the Cordyline in?
The Cordyline can withstand the hot sun well, so in the summer it doesn't have to go inside. It also can withstand rain, so in autumn and spring and rainy days of summer it doesn't have to go inside either. But, when it's -15 freezing cold (so really exceptional in the Netherlands) it gets heavy, so it needs to be protected, or taken to a warmer place.
Are Cordylines poisonous to cats / dogs?
The Cordyline contains toxins that cannot be ingested by dogs or cats.

Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
