Cordyline terminalis - "Ti Plant, Hawaiian Ti”
Light: Bright light, which can include up to 4 hours of direct sun daily. In low light, variegation patterns become much less pronounced.
Water: Moderately even moisture so that roots stay slightly moist at all times, but never soggy, allowing the soil to dry an inch or two down from the top of the surface. Water thoroughly and slowly with tepid water. Avoid overwatering and letting your plant sit in a saucer of water.
Environment: Cordylines prefer a room temperature of 60-85 degrees F. This plant will suffer in extreme dry air; place them near a humidifier, group them with other humidity-loving plants, and/or set them on a pebble tray filled with water. Do not place it near a radiator or AC unit. This plant does best in an outdoor setting in Spring and Summer but can be overwintered indoors.
Toxicity: Reported to be toxic to dogs and cats.
Of Note:
- In spring and summer, feed every 2 weeks with a balanced houseplant fertilizer that includes micronutrients. In fall and winter, feed monthly.
- Cordyline growth habit is upright. New growth grows from the top. Prune bottom leaves as they die off; it is normal for this to happen.
*When planting in a pot without a drainage hole, avoid over watering by estimating 25% of the container’s overall volume, with appropriate drainage materials incorporated when planting. Printable Care Sheet
