I love that your showing our Hawaiian plants. It's actually pronounced "tea leaf" but spelled ti leaf. Hope this was helpful 💜🌈 Aloha
Thanks...I think I need to do a new video with the proper name...lol...just what I learned from local Floridians.
@@GardeningWithHeidi yep the vowels are pronounced in a nearly universal (but not English!) way.
Super simple: a e i o u are pronounced, respectively ah, eh, ee, oh, oo.
Other vowel sounds are made by “pronouncing quickly” two adjacent vowels more like one sound, or when grouped as doubles, that’s a clue that in Hawaiian, there’s a pause, or glottal stop, between them, usual indicated as a single opening quote mark. Even Hawaii, which is commonly pronounced Huh-wEYE-ee, gets its “eye” sound from the “ai” together, followed by the “ee” sound, but with a short stop in between. Add to that the “w” which is actually a double “v” and you pronounce it properly: Hah-vEYE-ee, which differs from one of the State’s islands Kaua’i, pronounced, “Kow-AH-ee. it’s kinda fun.
Btw, my gardener taught me to stick Ti stalks in water for one week and I’ll see white root nubs, then just plant them in the soil… super fast. New ones grow from or nearby the cut of the older plant, and from the one you plant a week later.
@@drdarrow thanks for the detailed comment....thanks!
Beautiful love this thank you for this video 💖💖💖
So glad that I watch this again. I love the color that they add to my small garden and want more stalks. Trying to root some now and forgot to trim the leaves. Thanks Heidi!
Thanks Heidi I will do it!
Thank you so much! Moved to Florida and love these plants. 4 of mine got shreidded and brown during Hurricane Ian, and want to try and revive them. Didn't know you could start new plants from them. This was very helpful..
Hey...mine had absolutely zero pink on them afterwards...I took off all the dead brown and left about 3 of the top three on, they should start to come back. The roots should still be alive so if you trim half of them down, knee height you can get some new growth and then see how the tall ones go, if they are too lacking then cut them once there is some new growth on the bottom knee height ones...mine already have one new leaf growth on the ones I didn't cut...hope this helps!
How are they doing?
@@GardeningWithHeidi 2 of them are doing great, but getting so tall, they are leaning over. One I had to cut back and it is starting to grow new leaves. Yay! The last one is short, but doing okay. Thank you for your tips. 😊
Omg...... thank you.
Nice video. Great instructions. Thank you
Thanks Pizza 🍕 Man!
Beautiful plant❤❤🌱🌱🌱
Thanks!!
Lots of great info. Ty:)
Thanks!
Smart and beautiful thank you
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this😍
Helpful about the city water/fluoride info! Ty
Trimmed mine today. Thanks.
Hey there my friend! How are you?
Aloha I appreciate your video I live in SWFL and while I'm a transplant from HI I am just now taking a liking to growing cultivating and loving plants on my own. The Hawaiian Ti pronounced tee plant is one of my faves and while it is all over the islands I've NEVER really seen them here in SWFL all that much. So imagine my surprise when I was at HD the other day and they had a BUNCH 2 different sizes of Ti plants and so I bought one! Then it dawnd on me I've been away from home for a long time and...while all my plants are outdoor plants they are all grown in potters!! Anyhoo I was looking for a video specifically because I have 3 Ti plants stems in the nursery potter and I am curious if I can seperate them 🤔? Or should I keep them in that? I do appreciate how informative your video is and I LOVE ALL OF YOUR FOLIAGE it is absolutely beautiful I wonder what your area looks like now? Do you only propaget your Ti plants that way? I have read a few articles(I am more of a kinesthetic learner) so reading wasn't very helpful even the one w/pictures provided was a tad confusing so I thought I'd pop over to YT and honestly I'm not finding much and what I'm finding ppl aren't keeping camera on plant when filming its quite frustrating!! Sorry if I sound like I'm grumbling I am just trying to learn lol! Plant novice here that has really taken to plants in an extraordinary way that I'm sure some can attest to. 😊🪴🌱💕
Once again tnx for your vidya greatly appreciated. I know this video is older so not sure if I'll get a response or not blessings er'body 😻🐾🐈⬛🐈🐾😻
Wow...can't believe I am just seeing this now...the beauty with these plants is that you can trim them back hard...take the top and transplant wherever you like...after the hurricane mine were fried...all brown...starting to come back with the most beautiful bright pink...let me know if you need more info...I haven't made a video lately but hope to start it up again some...my yard was heavily impacted by IAN
Aloha I can't believe I'm just now seeing this too as all my notis are on lol I am starting up my own channel it's called Butterflys Botannicals 4 Beginners haven't posted yet, I have loads of vidyas but up until about a week ago haven't really felt the green light to go. And, I'm still doing life so getting it up off the ground has proven to be more than I thought it would be...not making excuses just being real! Okay NOW ABOUT THE TI PLANT guess what it was sick I mean so sick I returned it back to HD but in its being so sick the top of one of the stems fell off and I remembered your vidya(video) and I inspected it over thoroughly and it looked fine, however I quarantined even the tip of this(even though I quarantined the ti plant too) and I put it in a plastic bottle in the house and I said okay God if it roots it roots its up to you now...and it took awhile but it ROOTED and so idk how long but after awhile I let it root some more and then I put it in a potter and I have it growing under the carport of my house for right now. Now Ian, we put most of my plants in the shed under our carport except my pineapples and my broms we lined them up along side the house and by the Grace of God only got pulled a little bit out and of course the salinity of the air turned some of the tips a wee bit brown on a couple of other plants I forgot to mention we left along side house, as I'm a 1.5 miles from beach we were in the eye. We also sheltered in place that was scary! I hope you folks did fine during Ian? Okay be blessed and thanks for the pro tips I appreciate them😁
That is an awesome response! I love these plants and I was in the eye of Ian and took hours of sustained 100+ miles an hour wind shear up to 200...my heart sank over the years of efforts lost in a day, however these plants are providing me the most beautiful pink foliage...I trimmed them back hard, took.the tops and stuck.them in new places and will have more beautiful foliage in the next year I believe...yes, some won't make it but the others will replace the lost and make for a beautiful place. Welcome to the mainland and welcome to the channel! Keep on growing!
Thank You 🙏
You’re welcome 😊Sorry, somehow I just discovered in YT studio I can see old comments that I have not responded to. Sorry I missed yours :(
Great video!
Thanks! This was my first plant specific video on my channel, I hope you watch more and let me know if there is anything you might like to learn. Keep growing!
@@GardeningWithHeidi Your welcome Heidi! I just started posting video's on plants myself this past year and I will subscribe to your channel for some more of your amazing videos!😃
@@sandorspalms thanks! I'll check out your channel too!
@@GardeningWithHeidi Thanks😃
Mine is apparently planted in the wrong spot because it is getting sprinkled with our recycled "brown" water. it definitely does not look like yours! Going to cut the tops off and try to propagate some new ones tomorrow!! I know that I will have to watch this video again! Thanks Heidi!
show me where yours is located, it may need more sun...reclaimed water shouldn't be as bad as drinking water...they get rain outside too. Post a photo.
On my facebook, so I can see it.
Pronounced "tea" by the way. 🙂
Yes! My bad!
Great video! We’re in Northeast Florida area and almost all my leaves are brown after freeze last month but the plants are still alive. Do you think I should cut all the plants down to about 12 inches from the ground? Or just remove all the leaves for now? Thanks!
You can do either, sometimes it is good to leave them on if you think another frost is coming to protect the plant...then cut them back when out of the woods, if you cut them and think another hard snap might hit, just put a black grow bucket over it for the night if you want more protection. Keep growing!
Hi Heidi thanks for the info loved it. My question is what does one do if you grow it in a pot and it starts to get leggy, tall and thin because the bottom leaves gets old and you trim them off.
You can cut it back to the height you want and take off the old brown leaves of the top portion and place the top portion in the ground to start a new plant.
@@GardeningWithHeidi Thank you my plant friend I thought as much so now you have confirmed it.
I live in Texas where we got hit by a bad winter freeze not as bad as last yr thanks God for that, but my cordylines are yellow now. I don't know what to do or prune them. I planted them at the end of spring to the beginning of summer and they got beautiful but now they don't look hot at all. HELP SOS!!! 😭
Thank you. It has been difficult to find a good video. My current issue is the cold weather we are having Florida. We just a frost and destroyed a good bit of my Ti plants. When is the best time to trim and replant?
@genegribble how North are you? What were the temps....long freeze or a short snap? Most likely the foliage took the hit and the roots are still good. I would trim back now... the dead material. Let it rejuvenate in the warmer months then trim to propagate...You can transplant cutting about anytime, the winter months take a little longer to grow, but the roots get established and go deeper for water...let me knkwnhow that works out for you! Have a great day!
@@GardeningWithHeidi thanks Heidi. We live in the Melbourne area. We had at least two days of frost. Almost everything living back there was black for a better part of two weeks. I did trim them yesterday so I hope to have some success soon.
@@GardeningWithHeidi Heidi,I live in Florida. Can you do a video on Crotons and Fox Tale Ferns?
@@paulpatane2439 sure! I have been working on another project the last few months that has slowed down my postings...when I get up and rolling again, I can do those, I have both in my yard...2 of my favorites!
Very helpful. Thank you! I bought one of these plants this summer and didn’t know what to do with it. I live where the winters are cold, so I have mine indoors. Should I wait until Spring or summer to propagate it since it may not get a lot of sun during the winter?
Hi! Very cool! Yes you're correct, wait till spring after you see new growth. Unless, you have several stalks, you could experiment with one. Plants tend to have dormant periods, so moving your plant inside would be a time for less growth. Make sure to not over water it and let your tap water sit over night in a plastic container to avoid brown leaf. Indirect light should be fine, make sure it is not close to any heat source to dry out (radiator, fireplace, heat vent) they like humidity...let me know how it works! Stay warm up there!
@@GardeningWithHeidi Great! Thanks for the reply and tips!
@@chitowntoy2033 you are welcome! Thanks for engaging in the post! You make the channel more beneficial to others with questions. Thanks!
Hi Heidi. This is a great video! Know I know how to propagate my Ti's. I set some out Ti in my front yard drip under irrigation, now they have purple spots & the leaves are starting to brown. The soil is a little on the damp side, so I may be over watering. I know you mentioned fluoride/city water not being good to use, what can I do to keep them healthy?
Hi, I think too much water could be the issue and sometimes cold can stress them. Irrigation water shouldn't have a problem with fluoride...I hope that helps
Ok, thank you so much!
Do you fertilize them?
I’m in Madisonville Louisiana zone nine and I recently planted some.
I’m very new to gardening I just thought they were pretty and I’ve got Bamboo planted across my back fence so I’m trying to pick tropical stuff .. thanks for your help
Hi, I just found one of these plants in my neighborhood, someone left it near the trash.. the leaves are mostly still red, slight brown on the tips. How should I care for it? How often to water? Regular water or with plant food? Should I replant it? Or keep it in its pot?
Hi. I would plant it in the ground, plants just do better in the ground overall. Just water it with well water or grey water if you have it. Water it in well. If you have irrigation, a few times a week should be good. I wouldn't fertilize it now...let the roots establish and maybe put some good compost on surface and lightly mulch. If it is really leggy, you can trim it to desired hight and then just stick the top piece a few inches away from the base of the stem you just cut...it may take too...good luck.
Just moved to FL and wondering if I propagate my Ti plant now in our Spring how long will it take to grow a moderate size plant. Years or months?
When propagating, it does take some time for the roots to get established to transfer nutrients. Direct planting propagation is faster than water. It will take a few seasons to get something moderate...mine you saw are over a decade...but trimmed often. You can always start with an established plant in a desired spot and trim from that to start your oasis.
I was able to cut the stem, and just put it into the ground and it started growing. Now some of them just died. Do they need partial sun, all sun or no sun? Because the one i planted is in full sun.
They do best is part sun, can handle full sun...when transplanted they can die due to not enough water or too much water. Best to plant a few so have better odds...did one take? They are kind of slow to start and can look dead...just wait and see. If the stem is mushy then remove. Let me know how it turns out in the long run! Thanks for the comment.
I propagated from stem cuttings and the leafs are green. Do the plants need to be more mature before turning red/pink?
Yes they will turn more pink as they mature. Thanks for watching!
My stem only cuttings from FL in late march have roots but no shoots above ground. Just putting them outdoors now. Any Advice?
Just make sure the roots don't dry out with all the water restrictions....you could put some worm castings or a little compost at the base...then use mulch at base area to keep soil cool....spring rains should get some sprouts...other than that it usually takes without much fuss...hope this helps!
Ti like Tee or Tea
I just relocated to Florida from the Big Island and everyone pronounces it Tie. I correct them all the time.
How to make the Ti plant fuller instead of taller.
When you trim it back, typically 2 or 3 new branches come out making it fuller. You can vary your height of cut to get fullness where you want it. Did that help?
👍👍nice
😬😬😬😬😬 we have to plant just put in are backyard and was wondering why they where turning dead on the ends it because we been using city well water because it free do you know how to help ends ?
City well water shouldn't be a problem...prob just too much sun and heat. Just cut below where it appears to be dead..it should then work on the roots and push out some new buds...give it a try.
Please help my plant is not doing well all the leaves have come down , I have watered it but don't want to it Too much as it is winter season , and it is also kept in the bright light , I got this two weeks back and it was totally healthy but now it is looking so dull , please help me know how I can make it better for my plant
Where do you live? Are you keeping it inside?
We planted some Ti plants about 4 years ago and some look really sad and malnourished 😢 How should we be fertilizing these plants and what’s the best fertilizer for them?
Pull off bad looking leaves, cut back, replant upper stalk leaving one good leaf, water, they like humidity, worm castings are great when you cut them back, then just prior to raining 🌧 season use a preferred organic 10-10-10. Not too close to plants...mulch over fertilizer to inhibit run off...I have also used iron spray once in awhile. Make sure your water source doesn't have chlorine or salts, helps too! 😉 Love your profile pic! I am a fan of big cats!
@@GardeningWithHeidi thank you so much! Your video and your suggestions here are very helpful!
Sounds like I’m in a meeting
Hope it was an enjoyable meeting :)
Do you have a facebook page?
I do but not so active. Lol
It's pronounced "tee" not tai.
Thanks! You got me! Learned name from a South Floridian...must be the slang in these parts! 🤣 it pronounced Tee folks, not Tie....Thanks Maui SurfDog!
@@GardeningWithHeidi Mahalo from Hawaii...
@@hoksipgau 👋 I LOVE Hawaii! (I assume this from your name and photo😁) Such an amazing place! It has been 31 years since I have been there. Hope all that sun and sea 🌊 are keeping you healthy! Plus all those sea plants 😍! Our coastal waters near me get a lot of red tide and are brackish from the river...😣
Floridians tend to pronounce it “Tai.” I called it a “tee” plant when talking about it with a landscaper who had worked in Florida for several decades and he didn’t know what I was talking about. Eventually he said “oh you mean a Tai plant!” Guess it’s just a regional pronunciation.
@@cadronpickett397 yes indeed, I learned from a Floridian...😀
Pronounced Tee not Tie
Tie Plant 😂 for some reason Floridians mispronounce the name. It's Ti (tee) Plant or Cordyline
Indeed! I should get some A.I to fix that...but getting comments doesn't hurt either way.. 😆
Work on your audio
This was one of my first videos using ear buds...have a new set up. Should definitely do a new one...thanks.
Check this one out and let me know what you think... czcams.com/video/olz1w_ZeAG4/video.html
Well if you were pronouncing it right I might actually listen to you 👎
