Floral Greens Care: Keep the water in the vase of your Ti
Leaves fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cool water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each Ti Leaves stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: There are
many new hybrid "Hawaiian Ti" plant varieties available
for use in the floral trade and the interior plant industry. Many
of the colorful varieties are better suited to the floral trade
as the foliage tends to spot when kept as a inside house plant. Ti leaves
are available in solid green and colorful variegated varieties.
Large Ti leaves are about 5" wide and 24" to 28"
long. Small Ti leaves measure about 3" wide by 12" to
18" long.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Ti Leaves
with each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent
bacterial growth, aids in keeping vase water clear, and feeds your flowers
and foliages insuring a longer vase
life.
If you run out of commercial flower preservative you can make
your own fresh cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to
a quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
