How to fertilize Ti Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Ti Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is my plant dying ? Hi Everyone! I’m extremely new to keeping plants and I recently got this beautiful Cordyline fruticosa (pink diamond) only two weeks ago and it has little yellow spots, yellowing on the end of the leafs and random holes. If anyone can tell me how to fix it it would be greatly helpful. #TiPlant #Cordyline #TheThread #help

My Ti plant is always unhappy #TiPlant I gothic plant front soon because he was having trouble with it. I brought it home and over the winter I nursed it back to health, it spent one summer living outside on the porch and it did ok- not much growth. We had an unexpected night around 40 degrees in early fall and even though I immediately brought it inside and have kept it inside ever since, 2 stalks leaves died completely. One stalk shriveled. Now I’m babying it inside, fertilizing, controlling the temp at 70 degrees but she’s still struggling. Any advice?

My ti plant got knocked over and broke the top part of the stem. Should I go ahead and cut it off or leave it and see if it will survive. It’s the bigger top portion and it makes me sad this happen I’ve worked so hard. #TiPlant

Ti plant recovery tips My one beautiful cordyline was massacred by spider mites and maybe some under watering. It’s lost most of its leaves but is still hanging on. While I continue to fight the mites I’m wondering if it’s worth saving only the middle stalk (the short one) or if there’s a possibility to save all. It looks like there’s some new growth in progress on all stalks, but the middle stalk is the only one that looks healthy. Any tips?

Received this Cordyline as a gift with purchase from local plant store. Best free plant ever. Beautiful deep green leaves, easy watering schedule, not too fussy about humidity. Looks great on the hearth with a Peace Lily. All around great plant.

Grew so so fast in the summer I had to repot twice in 3 months!!! Survived being moves indoors for the winter — and now in a big pot needs very little attention. But it does need a LOT of humidity to keep leaves from browning/crisping up. I just keep a humidifier nearby and no issues!!!

Another one that’s got beautiful leaves. This one unfortunately got very burned during a house move (left on a truck in blaring sun), seeing if it’ll come back to life with some TLC

This is by far the hardest maintaining plant I’ve had. But she’s not happy and got fungus on her leaves. I removed the infected areas and she seems to be doing better. Maintaining the right moisture level seems impossible as well. She’s always dry or too wet and I have all the correct soil and drainage. We’re doing the damn thing though. 🤞

I’ve had this guy for a few years. He’s pretty chill, I’ve revived him when he was doing it rough a while ago and he’s sprouted multiple new stems in recent months. Pretty easy plant overall.

I’ve had 2 of these guys die on me due to my overwatering :( So don’t overwater!!
My 1 survivor is thriving though :) I keep him right beside my glass patio door, so barely any direct sunlight. Once spring hit, he hasn’t stopped growing! Such beautiful deep leaves.
& If you’re from Hawaii like I am, or any island, be sure to get one of these plants to keep as a memory of home.♡

Hawaiian Ti Red Sister, Cordyline, is fast growing with stunning red variegated leaves. It is thriving in a Southwest window that gets direct sun in late afternoon. I do not let it completely dry between watering and mist it. Like my other plants, it enjoys a steady 70 to 75 humidity level via a Levoit warm/cool humidifier. Very laid back plant.

Ti Plants are very hard to grow. Mine is super stubborn and is being rude to me. She got infested with spider mites so she’s been quarantined on the back porch for a few days but I still think that she’s a hard grower and I only recommend for experienced planters, for I am not one.

Love her! She can last very long without watering but I’ve had some issues with her leaves browning and having weird spots

I don’t know if I got it from Lowe’s already sick, but this plant quickly showed yellow/brown spots and it affected all leaves, including the baby ones. The stalk also has a yellow/brown edge. It’s been placed further from the other plants and is being treated with a fungicide/bactericide and neem oil, I’m hoping I can save what little leaves it has left since I removed the severely bad leaves.

When I repotted the plant, I noticed that there was actually 3 plants potted together, so if you buy a large plant make sure to check it as you may be pleasantly surprised like I was
