Cordyline Sherbert Ti Plant - Live Plant in an 10 Inch Growers Pot - Cordyline Fruticosa 'Sherbert' - Beautiful Indoor Outdoor Air Purifying Houseplant

Native to the tropical climates of Hawaii and other Pacific islands, New Guinea and parts of Asia, the plant is suitable for planting in U.S. Department of Agriculture growing zones 10 through 11. In cooler climates, place the ti plant, also known as Cordyline fruticosa, in a container and bring it indoors for the winter, or grow it as a year-round indoor plant. The shrub can reach an adult height of 10 feet. Make sure the plant has evenly moist soil and partial shade to full sun. Bright light brings out the brightest colors in the foliage. Provide ti with approximately 1 inch of water every week that it doesn't rain, as the plant grows naturally in areas with high rainfall. Although the ti plant is moderately drought-tolerant, don't allow the soil to become bone-dry, as excessively dry soil may cause the leaf tips to turn brown. Fertilize the plant every other month, using a balanced granular fertilizer with a ratio such as 10-10-10 or 16-16-16. Apply approximately 2 ounces of fertilizer per plant. Always apply fertilizer to damp soil, and then water immediately after fertilizing. Take care to keep fertilizer off the foliage. If any fertilizer lands on the leaves, rinse it off immediately.
