yup, the xerox out here don't have those pink/bright hues in the center and is mostly single colored. i'll keep an eye on it over the next couple of months but it breezed through the winter just fine

my batch of Ti's don't look near as great but it's only been a few months since rooting and hopefully the cold weather is behind us, i think i got down as low as 39° for 2 nights. going to start looking at a spring order soon for palms and cordylines and hope i have better luck but it does look...

all the xerox out here don't show that type of color, it's mostly just a purplish/burgundy color

you make it sound so easy scotti lol. i'm waiting to see what happens with the ones you sent me before winter. they looked good in vase of water until the very end and all the fronds started dropping and new growth started browning, they're all in soil now and hopefully a little sun and some...

i'm going to put it in soil tomorrow, it's been sitting without water and the log is still "wet" but i'm going to rinse her down in a bit. i took these from the top cuttings you gave me and i didn't want to trim off that much since stem lengths of the top cuttings were just about perfect for a...

interesting to read that you never could keep one alive in socal. i know of 2 homes in the neighborhood that i pass by daily that have a "green Ti" both are grown outdoors with very little care. now that i have a camera on my phone that's decent i'll take some photos in a bit when i take the...

real interesting leaf structure on those

here's the one stem cutting that showed progress, the others have one or 2 root node that are starting but not really going anywhere. this one was done over winter in a normally unheated home where temps stayed in the 62°-69°

the top cuttings you gave me looked real good indoors in a vase of water for about 3 months, with a bunch of root nodes after a couple of days. the new growth started coming out brown recently so i figured it was time to take them out. we'll see how they do in the upcoming weeks/months...

tell me about it :(. i'm trying to get a bunch of my friends into more tropical type plants like ti's and bromeliads since some of them live in great pockets for growing and when they ask for photos i always have to mist the plants first lol

i've had a real hectic 2-3 months that i don't want to go through again but things are finally settling down and i'm trying to look forward to spring, which feels like it's right around the corner. ScotTi sent me a care package with a handful of plants from already rooted to top cuttings with...

that's what it is, fluoride. I haven't had time to really search for the articles but supposedly it leeches into the medium and causes burnt tips

there's a bunch of roebelenii's out here as well. one of the neighbors down the street just had all the trees and grass removed from the front yard and the first thing they did was plant about 7 or 8 triple roeb's from the big box store, they got slightly larger ones like 10gal plants, that...

such great examples. maybe one of these days my garden will have as much color as yours

haven't seen this one at my big box store in awhile, if i see a decent example i'll pick up one of these too. could use some full sun Ti's

if i have time later tonight i'll see if i can pull up the articles that suggest that perlite might not be that great for Ti plants but glad to see others have used it without any real issues

ah, i still have a big bag of small bark chips, not sure if it's pine but got a big bag from the hydroponic shop awhile back that i usually use just for the wife's discarded orchids.

i'm starting to prepare for spring when i plan to order quite a few Ti plants and was wondering what everyone uses for their soil mix. for my bromeliads i use the palm & cactus mix from the big box store and mix in 1/3 perlite so i would use 2 cups soil and 1 cup perlite and i usually mix an...

yup, hopefully i get some good seeds and i can try germinating. so far it seems like my log cuttings and top cuttings you sent me are doing pretty well. the top cuttings have roots that are about an 1" long and a couple of the logs i cut off have some root tips trying to bust through ... i'll...

i was going to separate one set of the thin ones so i can plant them a bit further apart but the roots are all so tangled i would have to remove all the dirt before separating so i just left it as is ... for now
