Sorry to hear of your little ol' thief! I'm glad she doesn't live around here - most of my plants are in containers and are sitting around in common areas of the 'hood where everyone walks. Anyways, Palms and Plumies (in my mind) naturally go well together. I planted a Key West Pink at my church with an areca behind and Pheonix Robellini in front. Tagami Heliconias all around and varigated flax at the border. My Hawaiian Tis were lined up along the wall, but I took them out and replaced with Snow Bushes. There was no thought or plan to this arrangement (it was an emergency planting to save certain plants from TS Fay), but it has grown together nicely with that tropical, island feel. I know that is not the correct way to landscape, but it taught me a lesson in over-stressin', because that is what I'd been doing for months prior to the storm threat. Perhaps someone else here will give you some better advice about your plants' companions. This is the best place to ask! Later Susie

When you cut off the top, stick it into the ground and it will root fairly easily. I have one growing in the center of my island by the palms and several more where they get the morning sun and they're all doing well.Some of them have multiple stems because of the pruning. Regina

Aloha RK Tao, If you are in Hawaii, then it would probably work just by pushing the ti plant stems into the dirt. When I trim the ti hedge, some of the cuttings are just pushed halfway into the dirt and they sprout and grow. If the area you plant them in is hot and dry, you'd probably want to water it extra until the ti plants sprout new leaves. Or get a flowerpot and put some potting soil in it and start the ti plants in there first until they get rooted and growing, then transplant them out into the yard. A hui hou, Cathy

It looks like another stalk but it is growing down towards the roots instead of up. Not really sure what to do since I have no idea what it is. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance.
