I brought a ti stem home from hawaii. I was told to soak it until it rooted. Now that I have roots, I planted it but I'm not sure I did it right. I placed it in the soil horizontally. Am I doing it right? I'm a big plant lover and I don't want to ruin my special keepsake from my trip to Maui. Please help!
So what happened, did they grow? I just order some cuttings from Maui and expect them any day. Any tips and experience on this one would be very helpful.
I heard that you can plant it like cane: take a stem cutting and place it horizontally on the soil, and water it until it roots. The nodes are expected to develop small leaves, and each one will generate a new plant that can be planted separately. But this is what they do here in a tropical climate, I donīt know what would happen under different conditions.
I PRUNED MY TI BECAUSE IT WAS TO LEGGY. PLANTED CUTTING OF TOP GROWTH IN GOOD POTTING SOIL.
HAVE HEALTHY NEW TI PLANTS FROM CUTTINGS.
ALSO, MOTHER STALKS HAVE LEAFED OUT NICELY.
LIVE IN SOUTH EAST TEXAS BY LAKE SAM RAYBURN WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF RAINFALL AND HUMIDITY.
I HAVE POTTED TI PLACED ON EAST SIDE OF DECK NEAR LAKE SHORE. GETS MORNING SUN ONLY MAKING VIBRANT COLOR.
