Tropical Ti Plant Help!
Comments (4)Well yes that is a Ti plant. The problem is probably a combination of things. Ti Plants do not like it inside the house. They like it outside. Its generally a little too dry for them inside. They will respond to a significant change in their humidity levels by doing just what they are doing...dropping leaves and getting leaves with brown edges. Depending on the soil in the container and its composition, watering once a week could be too often. You need to check the soil at the bottom of the container where the holes are and see if its waterlogged. You can try misting the plant several times a day, but the best thing is to put it back outside. They like really good air circulation, and are spider mite magnets in the house. Ti respond to different lighting conditions depending on the cultivar. Some can sit out in full sun, some like half day sun, and some like bright diffused light. There are several that will lose a lot of their color if they don;t get enough light. Ti's are hardy to about 30F. We plant them out in the ground here, and they may defoliate in the average frost, or even freeze to the ground in a hard freeze, but they almost never fail to re-grow. If I were you I would keep it outside as much as I could, like as a porch or entryway plant, and only bring it in when its in danger of freezing...See More??? Planting Ti Leave Plants ???
Comments (9)Aloha RK Tao, If you are in Hawaii, then it would probably work just by pushing the ti plant stems into the dirt. When I trim the ti hedge, some of the cuttings are just pushed halfway into the dirt and they sprout and grow. If the area you plant them in is hot and dry, you'd probably want to water it extra until the ti plants sprout new leaves. Or get a flowerpot and put some potting soil in it and start the ti plants in there first until they get rooted and growing, then transplant them out into the yard.

Comments (4)I think your plants may not have been acclimated that much direct sun. It could be a disease, but looks like sunburn to me. I've had one of these in a pot for a few years and every time sun shines directly on it except the very first or last rays of the day, it burns. I gave up trying to acclimate it to any direct sun since it looks fantastic in all shade, very red leaves with an occasional pink stripe, made flowers about a month ago inside the house....See MoreHelp with ti plant!!
