One of the most
well-loved tropical foliage plants, Ti (rhymes with "tea") is most
often associated with Hawaii and the South Pacific. Best known for its large, colorful leaves which grow from the stem tips in
a circular, star-like pattern.
Cordyline Ti plants achieve
a stunning tropical look indoors or
out. This colorful variable species are among the most breath taking foliage plants. These spectacular plants come in many cultivars with glowing
colors of red, green, purple, maroon, rose, pink and yellow. With a vast range of colors and sizes, Ti plants or cordylines
are crowned as "King of Tropical Foliage".
Ti plant's relative ease of growing has made Cordylines popular with gardeners, landscapers and collectors alike throughout the world. Cordyline Ti plants are popular
because Ti cultivars provide an endless array of various shades of purple, maroon, rose,
pink and yellow, as well as green. Intense brightness of many of the colors, including
green, under good environmental conditions may be so vivid that plants appear fantastic
plastic created. Some cultivars also may be mostly dark purple or maroon with outrageous
highlights of rose, yellow or pink common to that cultivar.
Considered good luck to
plant around the perimeter of your property to prevent Madame Pele's lava flows from
overrunning your home or just to ward off evil spirits.

Growing Environment:
Cordyline Ti plants enjoy regular water and warm
temperatures. Grown in shade, particularly in warmer climates. Protect Ti plants from low
humidity or dry winds outdoors. Cordyline Ti plants can be regrown from roots in cold
climates. They thrive as a houseplants in containers. Ti plants or
Cordylines,
are extremely popular worldwide for their intense leaf colors and leaf shapes producing
interest and contrasts even in deep shade.
Ti leaves are also used in Hawaii to wrap food bundles that will then be steamed or
boiled. The food wrapped in leaves is called a lau-lau (lau is the Hawaiian for leaf).
Cordyline Ti plants are also used for making simple woven leis and they
are made into long strips to use in skirts for dancing hula.....the misnamed grass skirt,
is usually made of Ti leaves.

Color Control
Color
intensity appears to be controlled by temperature, light and fertilizer levels. Levels of
carbohydrates are low during summer when night temperatures are high and poor color often
occurs during this period. Low light intensity, especially during summer, and high
fertilizer levels also reduce color intensity. Best color intensity will occur during the
period November through May, if suggested light and fertilizer levels are utilized. During
periods of poor coloration, some improvement can often be obtained by increasing light
intensity and reducing temperature.
Light levels can affect appearance of multi-colored ti cultivars. Cultivars like Baby Doll
which normally have dark red leaves with a narrow medium red to pink margin, will begin to
produce leaves with wider pink margins as the production light intensity is reduced.
Suggested level is about 3000 to 3500 ft-c, which will produce plants with good
coloration.
Good growth can be obtained with either
liquid or slow-release fertilizers at the rate of 2.9 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000
square feet per month from a 3-1-2 or similar ratio product. Where plants are subject to
heavy rainfall or frequent irrigation, the fertilizer level may need to be increased.
The potting medium utilized for ti
plant should be of good quality, and provide excellent aeration and water-holding
capacity. Amendments should include a low to moderate level of micronutrients such as 1 lb
Micromax/yd3 and sufficient dolomite to adjust medium pH to 5.5 to 6.5. The higher pH has
been shown to be beneficial in reducing fluoride toxicity.
Suggested air temperatures for best
growth are 65°F minimum to 95°F maximum. Ti can tolerate lower and higher temperatures,
but growth rate will be reduced.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS on a case by case
basis.
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for auction items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

After you purchase |
After you Receive your Items. |
LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.
For this reason uninsurable.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it.
Please have potting media and a container prepared for your plant
before it arrives. Shipping can be stressful on a plant, and any
mistakes that you make upon arrival can stress the plant further,
which is not good. Proper care is critical upon arrival. It is your
responsibility to know how to care for the plant.
Not every plant that I order through
the mail survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I
order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there
is no way to know what kind of conditions it will endure in the trip
to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered
to your door. Live arrival is guaranteed, eternal survival is up to
you.
Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it
arrived damaged. From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from
delivery confirmation to make any claim.
|
All claims need to be supported with
Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged,
the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and
understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit.
The expense to send it to you is most
of your payment. To send any replacement (s), I try to piggy back with
your next order.
Replacement is not an option for
CUSTOMS SEIZURE.
ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA
CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S.-
USDA and USPS fees are included in the actual cost of shipping and
Handling.
Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my
detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any reason really because I
will block you from any further purchases. I ship items the best and least expensive
option. These are coming from Hawaii. The only
thing inexpensive here in Hawaii are my items!! I do ship all my items
promptly via best method--if you feel like the combined shipping fee is
wrong, please wait to be invoiced and check back with me-I value your
business and will work diligently to keep you satisfied. I am very
generous and reasonable with reasonable people, just ask.

Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
