Hi, I planted a Cordyline Australis (Pink Passion) in a large terracotta pot last month. Its in an area which gets the afternoon sun, but is partially shaded from the worst of the sun by a tree. I also have two small hebe plants in the same pot which are growing fine. Some of the bottom leaves of the cordyline have started to turn brown at the edges and the tips of some of the other leaves likewise. I have fed it well/watered once a week and the soil doesn't look dry. Any ideas what could cause this please? Also, is there a particular food anyone could recommend? Thanks

Thanks, but I wouldn't have expected that to happen so quickly?
