Every time I buy a new tropical plant, you ALWAYS have a video on it 😂. Just rescued a Hawaiian Ti today from the Lowe’s clearance section. Wish me luck!
I’m always picking up Cordyline trimmings. I’m a pest control technician and when I see the lawn people with them I ask, or I take what find on the ground 😅😅 FREE PLANTS 🤷♀️
you probably dont care but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Cruz Westin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Just discovered your channel and omg, you are so well-read! I can't believe I haven't discovered you until now!! Thank you for all the tips - I brought home what I assumed was a dracaena but quickly realized was probably a cordyline, and I'm so happy I came across this video! Subscribed!!
Thank you, Pat! They really are fun plants. I recieved a flower arrangement last year and it had some of these in as filler with the gingers and heliconias, they started to root right in the vase. Great plants for propagating!
Beautiful Jeff, I won't be growing this gorgeous plant, I live in a zone 5, so i will admire your beauties. This was a fun video, sorry about your mic, that's a drag. Thanks for sharing Jeff, have fun and I will see you soon, bye for now.
Hi holly! Oh technology is just troublesome sometimes. You should have heard how horrible the audio was before I "fixed" it! Sounded like I was in an cave, full of echo! So I'm ok with it happening because it gave me to opportunity to learn some editing skills with audio.
@@TropicalPlantParty I think I've just managed to get rid of the mealybugs now. Hopefully it will bounce back and start showing some new growth soon! If I can manage to get care right for this one, I might have to get some more; I didn't realize how many varieties there are and they are all so beautiful!
Years and years ago, when these weren't really sold by mainland nurseries, Hawaiian gift shops would sell a portion of the stem in these little bags with a green cardboard label sealing the top that said "Hawaiian Ti Plant" on the front with planting instructions on the back. They also sold Plumeria in the same way. Which is how I had gotten my first Ti and Plumeria when my parents took their long delayed honeymoon and they brought me back plants as gifts. (and guava jelly. so.much.guava jelly.)
I remember those! I think I saw those at the airport in Jamaica when I was a kid... no there's no way that airport was horrible. Well I saw them at an airport when I was a kid, and ginger roots. Do they grow outdoors for you in your area?
Tropical Plant Party of course they grow outdoors here, fairly common landscape plant but they often look like hell unless they are on the north or east side of a house.
@Michael McCarthy They still do! I live on Oahu & Lol they are still crazy overpriced but it's technically the only way to bring them on an airplane. They are still cute & are a bit of a Hawaiian staple for the tourist attractions.
Lowe’s, home depo always has common ones. I just love the wife leaves one , I got one in the mail that’s 3 and they’re about 3’ tall for about 50$. eBay has starts for 20$.
Hi Jeff, love watching your videos. I live in growing area 6b. I was hoping you would share a video on some fall plants I could start prepping for or putting in the ground now. I am interested in something other than mums and pansies. I appreciate your knowledge on a wide variety of plants and flowers. I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos. I do believe your flower garden has every color in the rainbow! Yes I said it, I know how you love rainbows.😊
Haha! Hi Deborah! I actually did a few videos last year on fall planters & also didn't do much with mums. For my fall planters i use a lot of coleus, creeping jenny, kale and cabbage, sunflowers, ... I'll add to list as I think of more.
I live in Sacramento CA, zone 9a. I see plain green Cordyline fruticosa outside in the ground in a few sheltered places, but they never really look happy. Cordyline glauca on the other hand thrives outdoors in bright shade here and it does not mind Sacramento's low summer humility at all. I did not know exactly what is was for a long time. I got mine at a grocery store as a 4 inch houseplant, some 20 years ago. But it grew and grew, so I eventually tried it outdoors for a winter and it really took off. It looks like a miniature Ti plant and I sometimes see it listed as a variety of C. fruticosa, but it has a different flower, so I know it is different species. The leaves are olive green, but the new growth is flushed with purple. It is one of my all time favorite plants. i just wish they could cross breed them with C. fruticosa to get new color varieties, that are hardy in my zone.
That would be really cool of they could cross them! Maybe next summer when Mike bloom again I can send you an envelope with some pollen! 😂 never know, could work!
@@TropicalPlantParty I just came across the reason that C fruticosa is not crossed with other species of Cordyline, nearly all the plants are sterile. Only plants in their native range produce viable seed. Believe it or not, the huge range of shapes and colors are spontaneous sports that have to be reproduced vegitatively .
I just love this plant!! I have a few that I wintered over and bought a few more - not the one that you have though. I potted one of them and added an assortment of the coleus plants. I wasn't sure if I would like or not but wow a month has gone by and they all blended in really well! I just have to keep the coleus in check otherwise it will dominate the Cordyline. I've never seen the one you described but will keep my eyes open!! It's sad that its not a perennial in Zone 8 though :( Awesome video Jeff! Thank you!!
The one in the thumbnail pic is actually the cordyline fruticosa 'harlequin' shown in the video. The colors are different because that was in the spring, temps were cooler and it was getting less intense light.
You can buy "Ti" logs online from many venues, such as The ABC Store and in addition to potted plants, Vintage Green Farms, sells unrooted 10" cuttings of various varieties for just a few dollars. .
First time I see that Singapore twist. I am sometimes confused between dracaena and cordyline or ti plant. I bought cuttings with slim plain green leaves seemed to look like a dracaena for me though I am inclined to say it is a ti because i bought together with candy cane. Still, it is a challenge! Thanks for giving a lot of info on cordylines.
I got a pink and green cordyline interplanted with pink and white petunias for half price from what I’ve nicknamed “death row” at the Home Center. I don’t know why it was put there because petunias and all are doing great in part shade by our front door. Since my cat regards house plants as salad I’ll need to find somewhere else for it before frost. I really like the cordyline australis as a landscape plant it has survived one of our winters in Upstate SC. The Upstate/the Outback-wherever it is it tolerates harsh conditions.
I almost killed mine, I thought they didn’t like water .... Plus there were some nasty bugs in the soil, it looked like millipedes, so I freaked out and got rid of the soil, washed the roots and repotted the thing. Now I’m told millipedes could be beneficial 🌱 ... Still learning
I've heard both good and about millipedes. I think your instinct was exactly right to clean the roots and repot the plant. Their thirst is somewhat dependent on climate and location. Inside the house they don't need as much water but wont want to be bone dry either. ... really they just like water like any average houseplant indoors.
I’m fostering a kitten and she decided that the pot that holds my haworthia plant was a good place to dig. So I moved some stuff around lol and added 2 cactuses to the pot....... I hope she gets the POINT to stay out now lol 😂
So my cordyline is the same color... but mine is all spiky and I keep it in the middle of a plant arrangement... Is mine just a baby of this or a different type. Cuz you didn't say at the beginning there was so many different types I think that one's just different. You should totally get the word newth trademarked...❤
Thanks so much guys.. I only pd $5.00 for this beauty. Of course on the sale table... She started out doing pretty well... She lives behind a lite gold color sheer. About 2 ft. And that gets ...SE in the a.m. then from noon on she gets... SW.... I didn't think it would be to hot but.the lower leaves end up crunchie.. The only thing I can think is put her higher up or further back. Your talking was very helpful but some how It's still not working for me. Thanks Again & I wont give up she's just too pretty & Your Advice Works as long as I follow it.....❤
I see Ti plants everywhere here though I personally don't own them. Yanno, I know every USDA zone map says my area is 9b, but I see so many large and healthy zone 10 and 11 plants around that I'm having my doubts. I'm not even sure it's a micro-climate thing either because the zone 10+ plants are all over town. This one lady has a Travelers Palm in her yard and honestly I'm jealous. I swear one of these days I'm just going to bite the bullet and try my luck with one.
The USDA zones are fairly rough but are becoming more accurate. Up until 2012 St. Louis was listed as zone 5! That was always so upsetting to me because nurseries wouldn't order plants for zone 6 or 7 that could grow just fine here. Finally they bumped us up to zone 6a/6b! One of the best indicators of what you can grow is what you see growing in your area that is old and mature. I'd say go for it if you're seeing them around!
I have some Hawaiian ti rooted logs. I live in Seattle and I have them as indoor plants. And I am trying to figure out how to plant them properly. They are cuttings from the stem and I have roots coming out. The lady I got them from said to plant them sideways in a pot and just keep the soil moist... It’s been about two weeks and I haven’t seen any young leaves pop out yet. Do I just need to be patient or do I need to repot them?
patience. if you knew which side is up and which is down you can plant them vertically, however laying on the side should result in multiple sprouts from the stem. these guys take time, just be sure not to overwater and to keep an eye out for rot. a humidity preserving covering can help (provided ventilation), but these guys are pretty strong, just be patient and have faith in it. It will grow. :)

Smart! They propagate so easily too! You must be very Ti plant rich!
I literally just bought this plant today! Thanks so much for this video, I feel better about taking care of my pretty plant 🪴

Hi Jeff. The Cordyline Fruticosa. This what I put together with the multi colored Croton. It looks really nice. Thanks. Have a great day.
Sounds lovely!
💜 pretty purple plant! Really adds to the tropicall effect.
Really does!

Never had one but pretty i hope to get one someday its going on my wish list
They are really fun!
Thanks for making this video! I got one a few months ago and I've had lot of problems, including mealybugs! Thanks for this detailed video!
No problem Emma! I know how it goes with those mealybugs! They are the worst!

Thank you, lisa!
Wow Beautiful Plant.
One of my favorites!
I'm going to be looking into finding as Cordyline Fruticoda.. incredible looking plant; I don't recall ever seeing one🥴... thanks!
No problem Ricky! They are really cool plants! Hope you find one!

The one you have as the main piece here is gorgeous! Such a beautiful purple
The one in the thumbnail pic is actually the cordyline fruticosa 'harlequin' shown in the video. The colors are different because that was in the spring, temps were cooler and it was getting less intense light.
Oh, Ti plant actually flower? That's amazing. Where are you located?
Love, love love. That Cordyline, Is that yet another huge plant to take inside to weather over winter?

Cordyline australis is an awesome plant! That is so nice that you are able to grow it outside as a perennial!
Tropical Plant Party Yes, that was a pleasant surprise. Hooray for Cordylines of all kinds!

I love mine! First year I have had them. I think! Lol
They are great!
Tropical Plant Party I need to pick up some more Fruticosas while they are still at Walmart for $3.50 ea! I want to create some cuttings, so easy!
I’m fostering a kitten and she decided that the pot that holds my haworthia plant was a good place to dig. So I moved some stuff around lol and added 2 cactuses to the pot....... I hope she gets the POINT to stay out now lol 😂
🤣😂 cactus should do the trick! I used pinecones to keep my cats out but those would be too big to use with a haworthia.
So my cordyline is the same color... but mine is all spiky and I keep it in the middle of a plant arrangement... Is mine just a baby of this or a different type. Cuz you didn't say at the beginning there was so many different types I think that one's just different. You should totally get the word newth trademarked...❤
Haha! It's possible both a baby and a different type. There are some with spikey foliage.
Wait to snails and slugs are bad for cordies and other plants as well?
You should do a video on coleus
I've thought about it but there are so many varieties I don't even know where to start with it. I tend to overthink things. 😂
Now I have two Sangrias I need in my life
🍷🍹🍷🍹🍷🍹 sangria! 🤣😂

You said that there were tons of varieties, but you only show a few.
Not “tie”, it’s “tee”, Ti
How I get it
The color of my Hawaiian Ti Plants are losing their coloration. I suspect these plants are light deprived to get the coloration.
The coloration on mine vary throughout the year based on light, temperature and possibly nutrients.
Do you have website?
