- Provide ti with approximately 1 inch of water every week that it doesn't rain, as the plant grows naturally in areas with high rainfall. Although the ti plant is moderately drought-tolerant, don't allow the soil to become bone-dry, as excessively dry soil may cause the leaf tips to turn brown..
- Fertilize the plant every other month, using a balanced granular fertilizer with a ratio such as 10-10-10 or 16-16-16. Apply approximately 2 ounces of fertilizer per plant. Always apply fertilizer to damp soil, and then water immediately after fertilizing. Take care to keep fertilizer off the foliage. If any fertilizer lands on the leaves, rinse it off immediately..
