Ti Plant Red Sister

Cordyline fruticosa, also known as a Red Sister Ti Plant, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub or small tree with brilliant red and pink leaves. It is native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Western Pacific Islands. The Ti plant can grow up to 9 to 15 feet tall and 3 to 8 feet wide—producing small fruits when planted outside. It will not fruit when grown indoors. The plant is winter hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 10 to 12. It is a wonderful and eye catching addition to your houseplant collection!

This plant requires bright indirect light to maintain its bright foliage colors, thriving best in partial shade or morning sun. While adaptable, it should be protected from intense, direct afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves. 

This plant requires consistently moist, well-drained soil, generally needing water 1–2 times per week. Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. They prefer high humidity and are sensitive to fluoride in tap water, which can cause brown leaf tips. Watering should be reduced during the fall to late winter.

This plant prefers high humidity and humidifier or pebble tray may be required when grown indoors. 

For better water retention, we suggest adding Canadian Peat Moss to your soil mix when planting this plant.

Fertilizing the plant several times a year will also help it to maintain its colors. We suggest Leafy Plant Food or Grow Organic Plant Food Concentrate.

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this tree type and apply according to the label.
