I brought a ti stem home from hawaii. I was told to soak it until it rooted. Now that I have roots, I planted it but I'm not sure I did it right. I placed it in the soil horizontally. Am I doing it right? I'm a big plant lover and I don't want to ruin my special keepsake from my trip to Maui. Please help!

So what happened, did they grow? I just order some cuttings from Maui and expect them any day. Any tips and experience on this one would be very helpful.

I heard that you can plant it like cane: take a stem cutting and place it horizontally on the soil, and water it until it roots. The nodes are expected to develop small leaves, and each one will generate a new plant that can be planted separately. But this is what they do here in a tropical climate, I donīt know what would happen under different conditions.

I PRUNED MY TI BECAUSE IT WAS TO LEGGY. PLANTED CUTTING OF TOP GROWTH IN GOOD POTTING SOIL.

SudieGoodman,

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me when you cut the top off the leggy plant, did you let it calous over before planting?

I have one that is also leggy and was not sure if it was supposed to be that way.

Did you cut the stem part into three pieces in the hope of getting three plants instead of two?

Thanks,
Debi
