Growing RED TI LEAF Plant = Cordyline Fruticosa

[@michaelromero1873]

Good post. I always plant at least six in a pot. They look better as a group when they get tall.

[@mathusvaiaoga8207]

The best thing is that you document these over time and show them in a single video. Awesome vid bro.

[@ThePlantCollector]

Thank you brother! 🤙

Thanks for making this video. I appreciate your tips.

[@ThePlantCollector]

THANK YOU! Hope it helps with your grows 👍

Mahalo, I'm over on Pahoa side and have many older Ti in different colors. I found your video very useful and now I know what to do to make more Ti plants. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and other videos.

[@ThePlantCollector]

Tropictone thank you for the positive comment 🤙 I'm glad to be of service to fellow planters and growers out there! Not sure if you have any green ti leaf plants but I'll be putting a video on it up as well...let me know if there are any other plants you'd like to see and I'll see if I can do a video on it.

[@PahoalohaChocolate]

@@ThePlantCollector Mahalo! I do have Green Ti and was hoping the process for rooting is the same? I just started a seed from Ulu (Bread Fruit) it's looking really good right now showing some good leaves. I planted 2 Avocado seeds/pits and they are both showing signs of sprouting! Super Happy right now. I enjoy your videos, very educational.

[@ThePlantCollector]

Yes the process for the green ti leaf plants are the same. Congrats on the ulu! I have yet to find one myself. That is one I planned to add to the collection! Avocados grow fairly easily so the best of luck to you on your own collection! Mahalo

Thanks for the video. My wife and I just planted a 10 in we got from home Depot outside our screen porch. Beautiful plant!

[@ThePlantCollector]

Nicholas Calandro Thank you! It truly is a beautiful plant 👍 the best of luck to you on your grow 🤙🌺

[@happyrichmama7381]

We also have a lot of those available here in the Philippines. I love the many varieties of Ti plant or Cordyline Plant. Thank you for sharing how easy it is to propagate them. More power!

[@ThePlantCollector]

THANK YOU! And YES! More power to the growers out there 👌 one day I'll bring my family to the Phillipines! Beautiful country 👍

Excellent video AS ALWAYS, Sir! You mentioned keeping the soil moist (which is indeed an important part.) That reminded me of what you mentioned earlier when you said that people outside of tropical climates can grow Ti plants. If I can add that if one is outside of a tropical climate where the humidity is lower, for example, Southern California (where I live) that has a Dry Sub Tropical Climate, one can definitely start Ti plant from logs outside, but it's important to start them in filtered light, otherwise the new leaves will burn. Other than that, Ti plants grow great here and there are huge plants all over the place.

[@ThePlantCollector]

THANK YOU for the excellent information! Always a pleasure to learn more!

[@Gemashke]

@@ThePlantCollector You're welcome, Sir...I look forward to more great videos!!

[@davidlee2052]

these plants are indeed a surviver! I live in a temperate climate in Sydney Australia, and they are The perfect plant they never take over the garden, however if you want to propagate them they root and survive so easily anywhere!

[@ThePlantCollector]

Precisely!! 🤙👍

[@nickorlando8261]

Nice video thank you. Question, did you lightly scrape the bark a bit? Thanks.

[@ThePlantCollector]

Thank you! No I just planted the cutting without exposing any more of the cutting's cambium layer 👍 this plant does perfectly fine that way.

[@jasontwister6456]

Hey thnx. For the info it helped alot great video👏👍👍👍

THANK YOU!

I'm in the Midwest, and my Cordyline was purchased during the winter. It was thriving beautifully in a western window, but recently I've had to battle aphids - the aphids won. But, I removed all the leaves and cut them back so the 2 stems are about 12" now. I've left them in the pot, gave them a drink of hydrogen peroxide diluted in water (hoping to kill off any other critters in the soil) - and praying for good results. They will most likely remain indoors this summer ... maybe.

[@ThePlantCollector]

dollladie wow it sounds like your poor plants have been through a tough one! Great job at working your way through the humps! I'm sure they'll bounce back to life in no time at all! I still haven't transplanted the stems in this video so you can imagine my poor plants fighting for room to grow. I will be putting an update up soon! The best of luck to you! Keep growing 🌺🤙

[@Neknekgardens]

I planted mines last summer in my flower beds they have no leaves do you think they will come back I hope so I love them so much I’m in south Alabama

[@ThePlantCollector]

Give it time and lots of water 👍

[@franitapoke5529]

Smart idea starting in water wish I did that

[@ThePlantCollector]

Thank you!

[@Plantdwithjae]

Mine died on me I had a piece hanging on for dear life I have it sitting in my window in water now waiting on roots ❤ it’s doing well. I don’t see a change just yet in the stems I have outdoors in soil but fingers crossed

[@pauliejeanpaleka-ku6056]

Your plants are beautiful! What size pots do you usually use?

[@ThePlantCollector]

Thanks! I usually start them in 1 gallon pots, then transplant into 3 gallon and then eventually 5 gallon. I let the root mass get pretty dense before transplanting. 👍

[@pauliejeanpaleka-ku6056]

Thank you so much that's awesome!

[@sharisees]

Mahalo for your video! This is exactly what I was looking for to figure out how to cut my ti plants to propagate. I’m curious about exactly how many and where the shoots come off from the main stem. Especially helpful is the time lapse. Would you be able to provide and update on these and all that red ginger you replanted? Thanks!

[@ThePlantCollector]

sharisees thank you! The shoots tend to shoot off towards the sides (towards the top) of the ti branches you plant...there is no telling how many shoots pop up on the ti stems but there will be at least two 👍 I will be putting updates on the ti leaf and ginger soon 👍

[@davidkneubuhl]

Have mine looking real nice by our mailbox 🤙

[@mantsukinohana2353]

Thank you for making this video! I'm attempting to grow my ti plants now in Oregon after I got discouraged last summer when my red ti plants died while away on a trip. My green ones survived winter some how. I will put them into a bigger pot and try the miracle grow potting soil, which I also heard works well!

[@ThePlantCollector]

Katie Young youre welcome! Mind you Im not a pro but I do know what has worked for me 👍 and I hope it helps anyone who's looking for some help. In my experience, the green ti leaves grow faster and get much bigger than the red ti leaves. I'll be putting a video explaining this soon. Thank you for the compliment 🤙 and good luck on your grow!

[@mantsukinohana2353]

@@ThePlantCollector Oh good to know!! Looking forward to the next video and thanks again for the tips!

[@thuocquy_vn]

Thanks. Could you tell me about function of this plant?

[@ThePlantCollector]

Most local folks use it ornamentally (leis/necklaces)...its a great "indoor air-purifier" plant as well...handles indirect sunlight and can handle over/underwatering. Otherwise it just adds beautiful color and diversity to your garden 👍

[@keredsilloc4095]

how long after you cut a stock back does it take for leaves to form?

[@ThePlantCollector]

Derek Collis I'm not exactly sure but I do know that it doesn't take too long. The plant will definitely survive being 'topped' though just as long as it gets water 👍

[@MsAmaya15]

I have a question. I am in Virginia and I bought my first Hawaiian ti plant. It was so beautiful and I was sooooo excited. Well it didn’t make it. It’s completely bald but I have kept it in the pot and I refuse to let this plant go. It’s soooooo beautiful I know with proper care I can hopefully bring it back to life. What should I do? I know I could do exactly what you have done but it is rooted in the pot. Should I cut the tops? I’m just soooo lost. Help?

[@ThePlantCollector]

KAES ASMR I'm sure that you've already done these things that I'm about to suggest but let's just double check: 1) This plant loves water...water it well...it can handle dryness but make sure it has water....since your plant is now "bald" I'd suggest not watering it for a bit until it looks dry enough to re-water 2) Food? Plant food....fertilizer possibly...not too much though because the plant is in a fragile state..maybe a quarter of the recommended "dose"...either tropical plant food or miracle grow...although miracle grow liquid feed is something I use quite often, I try not to over feed..you got this 👍 3) Placement...make sure you give this plant lots of sun...it loves the sun...I have mine all around the house and they all seem to be doing great although but maybe a southwest facing window might be best...whichever window get the best sun (use that one)... 4) Climate control...I'm lucky enough to be here in Hawaii where these plants thrive but try and mimic tropical weather as best you can....I'm sure this plant can handle rough weather but only if the plant is strong enough first...if you can keep it inside, I think that would be best for now. IF ALL ELSE FAILS: you might want to consider cutting the plant "trunk" into a few sticks and attempt at propagating....OR.....you can take the plant out of it's current soil (medium) and checking the roots out to see if the problem lays there....I usually just take it out of the pot, softly massage the roots to loosen the soil, then spray the old medium off and re-plant in fresh soil....miracle grow potting mix works for me....choose whatever works for you 🤙 I know this is quite a lot of information to take in but I hope this helps you with your grow 👍 THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

[@MsAmaya15]

The Plant Collector thank you soooooooooo much. I am going to follow these steps and keep you posted. Fingers crossed I can do this and this beauty will come back.

Pople BackyardFarm it is quite a beautiful plant 👌

[@dj33036]

You need to poke a hole in the soil before you jam the plant down into the pot. Those little roots are very fragile, and yes they will probably survive anyway but you are really making it hard for them.

[@ThePlantCollector]

dj33036 .dj63010 These ti leaf plants root very easily. I understand what you're saying and I've never run into any problems growing this plant at all. Had it been a more 'fragile' plant I would have taken extra care not to hurt the plant.
