Ti Plant – A Different House Plant

The ti plant (Cordyline terminals), when purchased as a novelty plant in Hawaii, appears to be only a green log. But once the leaves begin to grow, they very rapidly turn the ti into a lovely, shiny, handsome foliage plant.

The ti can be planted either horizontally or in an upright position. Plant it so that it is half in the soil and half out. It will grow with a minimum of attention and tolerates poor light.

In Hawaii the ti leaves are used to wrap up certain kinds of food for cooking. And dried ti leaves, shredded, are used for hula skirts.
