Hawaiian Ti Plant

Cordyline fruticosa 'Florica' is a named Hawaiian Ti Plant selection with green leaves splashed in pink and red. The foliage is the main display, with occasional sprays of small purple flowers adding a second seasonal accent. ## Appearance and placement The [Chicago Botanic Garden plant finder](https://www.chicagobotanic.org/plant-information/plant-finder/cordyline-fruticosa-florica-florica-ti-plant) identifies 'Florica' and describes its pink-and-red splashed leaves and purple flowers. It recommends bright light, high humidity, and warm conditions, and notes that indoor plants can be susceptible to spider mites when humidity is low. The [University of Florida IFAS Ti Plant profile](https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/FP141) describes C. fruticosa as an upright evergreen with cultivar-dependent leaf colors and supports specimen, accent, and container use. ## Growing conditions Grow it outdoors only where temperatures remain warm; in cooler areas, use a container that can be moved indoors. Provide bright indirect light or partial shade, humidity, and moist but well-drained growing medium. Strong direct sun can be too intense indoors, while dim, dry air can dull the foliage. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving the pot in standing water, and reduce watering during slower winter growth. Check indoor foliage periodically for spider mites and remove damaged leaves. Maintain warmth and humidity to preserve the colorful leaves.
