Did you placed your Hawaiian ti plant somewhere in indirect sunlight?
Did you planted your Hawaiian ti plant in the well-drained soil mix, rich in organic matter?
Are you making sure that the soil is consistently moist, but never soggy or flooded?
Do you feed your plants regularly?
Do you prune your Hawaiian ti plant to keep it tidy?
Do you keep your Hawaiian Ti plant free of pests and diseases?
When planted outside, Hawaiian ti plants need at least four to six hours of sunlight. Inside, they don’t need as much sun, so place it about three to five feet away from a window. Make sure it is nowhere near a vent or a drafty area to prevent drying out.
Even a tropical plant that loves humidity needs well-draining soil. When potting up your ti plants, it is best to avoid potting soils that contain perlite, as some perlites can contain fluoride. Other than this, a well-draining potting soil will work best for potting or repotting your ti plant.
The Hawaiian ti plant likes moisture, so keep the soil moist (not flooded) and consider spraying the leaves with water mist each day as well. If you have a problem with brown tips on your plant despite proper watering, try switching your water to non-fluoridated or distilled water, as fluoride is mildly toxic to ti plants.
When growing a Hawaiian ti plant indoors, you will want to fertilize it about once a month in the spring and summer and once every two months in the fall and winter. Keep fertilizer away from the leaves and stems to prevent burning.
Feel free to trim off discolored and damaged leaves any time of year to keep your plant neat and tidy. If your plants are getting leggy, you can prune the what you don’t like during the growing season to approximately 12 inches above the dirt. You may notice some branching out happening around the cut later, so you can use this to control for overall size.
Good job! You are taking good care of your Hawaiian Ti plant.
Hawaiian ti plants are fairly resistant to pests, but they are susceptible to diseases like fusarium root rot, fusarium leaf spot, and bacterial leaf spot. These diseases can be prevented by maintaining good watering practice and avoiding overwatering.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
