Rooting Ti Plant (Cordyline) Cuttings: Move to Soil Now

Bryan received two ti plant shoots, told to keep half-submerged in water until growth. Both have leaf shoots but no roots. Asks when/how to transfer to soil.

Move to Soil Immediately

Water rooting is slow and risky for Cordyline. Soil is faster and stronger.

1. Small pots, moist peat-based soilless mix.
2. Bury entire stem cutting just below surface.
3. Keep moist, warm, bright (not direct sun initially).
4. Roots form in weeks; new growth follows.

No need to wait for water roots. Soil = better oxygen, less rot, seamless transition.
