Striking color and small space vertical interest, Ti plants create beautiful contrast and interest in the garden. Relatively easy to grow and maintain, Ti plants can grow to around 10’ when grown in optimal conditions. In my area they tend to top out at about 8’. This plant is also very forgiving if damaged. Hurricane Matthew flattened most of my tall Ti plants. This presented an opportunity because the plants were too tall for their location. I cut the stems at about 2’ from the ground. With remaining stems I cut those down to 6-7” logs and planted out in the garden. Within a month, new baby ti plants were growing and should be decent size in about 12-18 months. The mother plant which was trimmed soon sprouted out new growth on each stem and has come back strong.
