Wish you all the best in getting your log to sprout. I'm rather surprised to observe that new plants started from the logs laid horizontally grow ever so slowly (up to 11 inches only as of today) as compared to those propagated from tips cuttings which have reached 5 feet tall. I don't have the latest picture, but have one taken last November of a section of our frontyard that included the 2 pots of the new starts as posted at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayjayc/5226089463/ (on the left side of image). Check it out so you can see the extreme difference in height as mentioned. You’re most welcome, Nathan…our pleasure really in sharing! Wish you all the best in getting your log to sprout.

I purchased an existing plant in a clearance rack at a grocery store, only because I wanted a plant on my desk at work. It promptly lost all of the leaves it had (only three to start) and I started looking to see if I could save the plant. I'm going to lay the 'log' over on its side and see if it sprouts like the one in your picture. Thanks so much for your work on this writeup.

When I was a little girl my Grandmother presented me with a Ti plant log, which began my love for plants. It's now 44 years old, about 7 feet tall, and in such a big heavy pot, that it is burdensome to bring in for the winter. Your explanation was simple, yet detailed enough to give me confidence that I can establish in several pots, with multiple methods and have complete confidence of survival.

It looks like lanterns when it is in bloom. However the lanterns have now gone brown and see through and inside it looks like a red seed, and I wanted to know how to cultivate it?

There are many Ti plants growing in abandon areas and with many types of varieties - it will surely make a coloured variation.

Not sure whether soil PH affects its colors, though I've read that it does for Hydrangeas. <strong>Andrea</strong>: due to time constrain, my friend. I've been busy with my relatively new blog, Jacq's Blogger Tips and learning much in the process of experimenting new features in Blogger, something I enjoy very much too besides gardening. Great, if we're a couple of miles apart...then I can just drop by to salvage what you've discarded, haha! One man's trash is another man's jewel, huh!

I have lots of Cordyline you are looking for, come and you can have whatever you want. haha! We sometimes just cut and throw them away, it's getting crowded and ugly looking in the corner of the property. Hi Jacqui, have not heared from you for awhile.

Have you noticed though, that sometimes the leaves are brighter? I am not convinced that it is truly a light and shade issue (they do seem more colourful if they get some sunshine, but not too much) I have been wondering if it is fact something in the soil that affects their colouring? Maybe PH? Hello there, I also love cordelines, and have propogated plenty the way you describe! Have you noticed though, that sometimes the leaves are brighter?
