Care Tip
Full sun provides the best leaf color, but too much direct hot sunlight causes browning of the tips and margins. Ti plant is considered a full-sun specimen (six hours or more per day), but when grown outdoors will benefit from being shaded during the hottest hours of the afternoon.
Watering Tip
Ti plant grows best in moist soil. Water deeply (about one inch of water) twice a week.
Fertilizing Tip
Feed Ti plants once in the spring with a slow-release fertilizer that is well-balanced in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (8-8-8 or 10-10-10). Spread the fertilizer evenly around the soil at least one foot away from the plant's base.
Soil Mix Tip
Slightly acidic soil that is fertile and well-drained. Sandy or loamy soil with plenty of organic matter works well.
