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.

🍀✨️ APHRODITE UPDATE! ✨️🍀 (Long post) If you have been with me since October or so, you may have remembered my Ti Plant, Aphrodite. She got spider mites and dealt with it for as long as I remember, but I worked hard with her this season, and I have brought great news. Here's a new image of Aphrodite. I gave her a small name change (from Aprodite to Aphrodite, like the god) because she will become beautiful again. Although most of her was diced away into pieces, she still lives on. The spider mites are nearly eradicated. But, I also did something yesterday. I took one of her growing sprouts and pulled it out of her pot, hopefully. This will be a new plant just in case the spider mites strike again on Aprodite. I soaked it in a mix of water and insectidal soap for about a minute and rinsed it in the sink, hopefully eradicating any possible mites on it. l am now letting it propagate in one of the hydroponic pods. I am naming the sprout Harmonia because she is the daughter of Aphrodite (both as a plant and in the myth). (Please take note that I don't know anything else about Aphrodite and Harmonia in the myth.) #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #pestcontrol #spidermites #tiplant

My Ti plant is blooming! In the middle of winter, after she suffered some leaf damage from a bit of cold. I moved her a few weeks ago inside and have kinda been ignoring her, but as I was going to bed last night, I noticed two blooms!!! Pretty neat and it makes me wonder what the connection damage/stress has with new growth/blooms. There's definitely a correlation there! #happyplants #blooming #tiplant #cordyline #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #plantaddict #planttherapy #theamigos #jesssjungle #greggang #plantmafia

Can I put my Ti Plant outside in zone 9b to get rid of spider mites? I really don't want to discard her, she's my only Ti Plant and there aren't any at other places. What I was thinking was I could prune her back to the stems or roots and then put her outside. This is similar to what happened to my Catharanthus roseus, but I want to ask the experts here in Greg. She has lost so many leaves already, so I think this is my final option. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers

I found some white powdery substance on my Ti plant. Anyone else that has had this issue? I don’t think they are Millie bug. #TiPlant

Is new growth dying a sign of disease? I am entering my first winter with over 50 plants and I’ve noticed a few of my plants are sprouting dead new growth, but I’m wondering if this is normal for winter? It’s only happening to a couple of my plants…

Brown tips and spots? I used a foliage spray a few days ago but it was already not looking very happy. I’ve been trying to deal with pests for a long time now with pretty much all my plants. Now I’m not sure if this is fungal, fluoride (doubtful), pests, weather change or what. I’ve also started using a few grow lights (2nd hand) but only one of them came with directions in Spanish. I understand most of it and I think I put it too close for a bit but I’ve since moved it farther away. I also moved it back and forth between the grow lights and the normal spot in the living room with the rest of my jungle#TiPlant #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #help #IDKwhatIdidButItsWrong #GrowLights #PestControl

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.

She’s a tough one, temperamental and SO dramatic! Very toxic to cats and dogs. Likes slightly acidic loamy sandy soil or she will NOT thrive. Also loves humidity. She can be a temperamental B about her light source though

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
