Exotica Ti Plant

Tall spikes of soft, lavender-pink flowers are produced at the tip of each stem on exotica ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa 'Exotica'). The most ornamental features of this ti plant, however, are its variegated pink, cream, and green leaves. Ti plant is primarily grown as a container plant for the variegated foliage; its flowers in November and December are an unusual addition. Ti plant is tolerant of being grown in a variety of light levels, but it is prone to spider mites in winter when grown indoors. While not fussy about soil, it needs consistent moisture in the root zone.
