Does anyone know how to making cuttings off this plant, if so, can you share any info? I have no idea where to start! Thanks so much!
Hawaiian Ti Plant Cutting
I recently tried rooting some cuttings in green moss. I took some green moss and soaked it in water. Squeeze most of the water out so it is just damp. Place the moss in a small dish or tray. place the ti logs horizontally on the moss and sort of push them into it.. Put the dish/tray in a ziplock baggie and put in a warm bright spot. Mine rooted fairly quickly that way.
A week or so ago I noticed a small branch broken off a Miss Andrea Ti. The leaves were all dead but the stem was firm. I was on my way out of town when I found it so I just stuck it in a glass of water and forgot about it. It now has many small roots forming; they are about 1/3" long. Any suggestions on what to do now? If I lay horizontally it in a moist potting medium will it sprout in several places?
I'm not sure about the horizontal.
In this climate when I break a branch, I simply stick it in the location I want it to grow, and they do great.
That is what I have always done, I guess I was wondering if I would get more shoots from the horizontal planting.
I bought 4 4" cuttings in Hawaii last year. I planted 2 horizonal and 2 upright. They all grew. The 2 horizonal grew 3-4 stalks where as the upright ones only grew 1 stalk. Hope this helps.

Yes, thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. That helps a lot. I was hoping that would be the case. Off to plant ..........
That is good to know!
I must agree with rjuddharrison: here in South East Florida, you cut off a section and stick it into the ground vertically. When they get leggy, I have cut down the whole plant, leaving nothing but a 6-inch section in the ground. The rest of the stem is cut into 6-inch sections and stuck right into the ground. You only have to remember which way is up. That's all there is to it. Even I, who has limited ability with cuttings, experience great success with that method.
