I had purchased a red leaf ti plant. Started in a pot and after a year took it outdoors where it didn't do very well. Took it back indoors and now it has taken off with one exception. The plant has turned to its natural green color. I still love it but now would like a red one as well. I planted it in normal potting soil that has fertilizer in it and have had no problems. I live in Northridge, CA
