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.

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.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine  what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or  buying.

Proper  Permits and Documents are the BUYER's responsibility. Please request any  documents prior to shipping.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON  LIVE PLANTS  is available only under these conditions!

All  international orders are shipped at the BUYER's  RISK  (shipped with or without  documents) and no refunds or replacements are offered for  Dead On Arrival, loss, confiscation, Customs Seizure,  unanticipated charges, etc.

  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. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are  NOT eligible for any discount.

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.

We ship on Tuesdays.

Payment must be  received within 4 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 8+ 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 items)

My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied  selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for  prompt delivery.

I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is 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 us to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on  the other side of the island.

This requirement takes my wife and I, 2-3 days 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.

LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE.

There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.  LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever.

US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED for LIVE ARRIVAL . All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's  RISK!

When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care  for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.

 Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living  room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works  well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating.

Be careful if you decide to re-pot.  Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).  Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED  to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,  eternal survival is up to you.

 IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes.

NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.

 BROWN  THUMB WARNING: Please Do NOT email me after  a week after receiving your plant,  and make a claim it arrived damaged. All photo support  must be as arrived in original condition when received (in  the box and packed as delivered).

If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered.

If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT.

Not every plant that I grow 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.

You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.
