Fertilizing Ti Plant: Less Is More

Ti plants (Cordyline) need little fertilizer. Only feed if the plant is healthy, vigorously growing, and hasn't been repotted in a year. Use a complete 3-1-2 ratio fertilizer (e.g., 15-5-10) with micronutrients at half strength. Avoid fluoride sources: perlite, superphosphate, and fluoridated water cause leaf tip burn.
