Cordylines are so easy to grow from cuttings. I just put them in water and after a few days they have masses of new roots. But yes, they do need full sun to give the best colour. Don't know how low a temperature they'll take but I remember when I was trekking in the mountains in Papua New Guinea earlier this year I came across a lot of them in the wild. Mind you, whilst it doesn't get very hot in those mountains, it doesn't get very cold either.

Just recently I bought a couple of small ones with attractive colouring. When they get bigger I'll be getting a few cuttings from them. This is the smaller and lighter coloured of the two.
