	(core-dee-line' ter-mi-nall' iss) Ti Tree, Good Luck Tree       Considered good luck to     plant around the perimeter of your property to prevent Madame Pele's lava flows from     overrunning your home or just to ward off evil spirits.      One of the most  well-loved tropical foliage plants, Ti (rhymes with "tea")  is most  often associated with Hawaii and the South Pacific.  Best known for its large, colorful leaves which grow from the stem tips in     a circular, star-like pattern.        Cordyline Ti plants achieve     a stunning tropical look indoors or     out. This colorful variable species are among the most breath taking foliage plants. These spectacular plants come in many cultivars with glowing     colors of red, green, purple, maroon, rose, pink and yellow. With a vast range of colors and sizes, Ti plants or cordylines     are crowned as "King of Tropical Foliage".  Ti plant's relative ease of growing has made Cordylines popular with gardeners, landscapers and collectors alike throughout the world. Cordyline Ti plants are popular     because Ti cultivars provide an endless array of various shades of purple, maroon, rose, pink and yellow, as well as green. Intense brightness of many of the colors, including     green, under good environmental conditions may be so vivid that plants appear fantastic plastic created. Some cultivars also may be mostly dark purple or maroon with outrageous     highlights of rose, yellow or pink common to that cultivar.

Growing Environment:      Cordyline Ti  plants enjoy regular water and warm temperatures. Grown in shade, particularly in warmer climates. Protect Ti plants from low     humidity or dry winds outdoors. Cordyline Ti plants can be regrown from roots in cold climates. They thrive as a houseplants in containers. Ti plants or  Cordylines, are extremely popular worldwide for their intense leaf colors and leaf shapes producing     interest and contrasts even in deep shade.           Ti leaves are also used in Hawaii to wrap food bundles that will then be steamed or     boiled. The food wrapped in leaves is called a lau-lau (lau is the Hawaiian for leaf).  Cordyline Ti plants are also used for making simple woven leis and they     are made into long strips to use in skirts for dancing hula.....the misnamed grass skirt, is usually made of Ti leaves.

Color Control      Color       intensity appears to be controlled by temperature, light and fertilizer levels. Levels of       carbohydrates are low during summer when night temperatures are high and poor color often       occurs during this period. Low light intensity, especially during summer, and high       fertilizer levels also reduce color intensity. Best color intensity will occur during the       period November through May, if suggested light and fertilizer levels are utilized. During       periods of poor coloration, some improvement can often be obtained by increasing light       intensity and reducing temperature.             Light levels can affect appearance of multi-colored ti cultivars. Cultivars like Baby Doll     which normally have dark red leaves with a narrow medium red to pink margin, will begin to     produce leaves with wider pink margins as the production light intensity is reduced.     Suggested level is about 3000 to 3500 ft-c, which will produce plants with good     coloration. Good growth can be obtained with either     liquid or slow-release fertilizers at the rate of 2.9 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000     square feet per month from a 3-1-2 or similar ratio product. Where plants are subject to     heavy rainfall or frequent irrigation, the fertilizer level may need to be increased.  The potting medium utilized for ti     plant should be of good quality, and provide excellent aeration and water-holding     capacity. Amendments should include a low to moderate level of micronutrients such as 1 lb     Micromax/yd3 and sufficient dolomite to adjust medium pH to 5.5 to 6.5. The higher pH has     been shown to be beneficial in reducing fluoride toxicity. Suggested air temperatures for best     growth are 65°F minimum to 95°F maximum. Ti can tolerate lower and higher temperatures,     but growth rate will be reduced.	CULTIVARS Many of the small plants used in small     combination planters are started from seed and are highly variable in color, from green to     deep maroon and variegated. Most of the named cultivars in the trade are selections made     from unique and attractive seed-grown plants. A few of the named cultivars now popular in     the United States are listed below: `Baby Doll' is a small-leaved cultivar     with maroon leaves trimmed with a pink edge. a dwarf cultivar with unusually marked and     colored very narrow foliage. `Firebrand' is a relatively     large-leaved cultivar with dark burgundy foliage. `Kiwi' is a very beautiful Ti originating in New Zealand, popular medium to small-leafed variety with a fine margin     trace of red around a green leaf with an irregular internal pattern of yellow-green,     yellow and ivory stripes which follow the leaf veins. There are also a few fine red lines     in the internal pattern on some leaves. `Kiwi' is of intermediate size 5' with a base color of olive green, heavily     striped with yellow, leaves are margined with red, which sometimes spreads into beautiful     red streaks. “Purple     Prince” is a glowing purple and     dark red foliage, make this little gem a truly great cordyline for container or garden.     Foliage is absolutely striking!

Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.            Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING  RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Late or Multiple PayPal payments are  NOT eligible for any discount. We will ship once a  week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special  stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you.  This  can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture.  If  payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be  shipped the following week and lose the combined discount  opportunity.

As  each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it  does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional items) My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied  selection. Domestic S/H includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for  prompt delivery. I can't really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it is hard to discount  much as each different species requires it's own prep, packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected  then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on  the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, 2-3 days to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day  we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes  the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
Before you purchase	After you Receive  your Items.
When you order a plant we assume you are prepared to care for it. It is your responsibility to know how to care  for the plant. Do some research before they arrive or seek experienced help.  Small plants need protection from many things, wind, sun, dry-out. They do well just in the garage or living  room. They need good light but not sunlight (full sun will burn small plants). Small pots dry-out easily. Just sitting in a shallow tray of water works  well. The idea is to keep the plants from dehydrating. Be careful if you decide to re-pot.  Re-potting voids any warranty. Plants are easily damaged with new/different mix. Use NO fertilizers (this may kill your plants).  Proper care is critical upon arrival. Live Plants are NOT GUARANTEED  to survive under your care. DO NOT expect any live plant to be GUARANTEED to remain alive. Plants are NOT GUARANTEED TO SURVIVE after you begin Care! Live arrival is guaranteed,  eternal survival is up to you.  IF YOU are NOT able to provide PROPER CARE, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT plant to be GUARANTEED after it perishes. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Please Do NOT email me a week after potting your plant, and make a claim it arrived damaged. If you repot your plant after delivery, all warranties are voided and no replacement is offered. All  photos must be as arrived in original condition as received (in the box and packed as delivered). If repotted, you are responsible for the condition of the plant. NO REPLACEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IF YOU HAVE REPOTTED THE PLANT. Not every plant that I grow survives, and I am aware of that and accept the risk when I order. This is the risk that you as the buyer accept, because there is no way to know what kind  of conditions it will endure in the trip to your door. My responsibility ends when a live plant is delivered to your door. You are agreeing to these terms when you make this purchase from this listing.	LIVE PLANTS ARE PERISHABLE. There is the risk when you grow plants that they may die.  LIVE PLANTS are PERISHABLE, guaranteed not to live forever. US orders ONLY are GUARANTEED for LIVE ARRIVAL . All International orders are shipped at the BUYER's  RISK! From delivery confirmation, you have only 48 hours from delivery confirmation to make any claim. All claims need to be supported with Photos of the damaged plant(s) as packed/unpacked, the box if damaged, the packing materials and any documents. I am very reasonable and understanding, anything can happen to small plants in transit, for this reason uninsurable. The expense to send it to you is most of your payment. To send any replacements, I try to piggy back with your next order. Replacement is not an option for CUSTOMS SEIZURE. ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE SHIPPED USDA CERTIFIED WITHIN THE U.S. - USDA and USPS fees  are included in the actual cost of shipping and Handling. Please do not leave a 1 or 2 in my detailed seller ratings for postage fees or any  reason really because I will block you from any further purchases.   Please contact me before eBay if you have any issue.

Mahalo iâ `oe no ke kipa `ana mai. E kipa mai hou!	Rare Seeds Fresh Highest  Quality When you receive your seeds, you have only 7 days to make any claim. Once planted, seeds can NOT be returned and no refund is offered. All seed sales are final. There are no germination guarantees. Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised. Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements, refunds, returns and exchanges will be  made at the sole discretion of the seller.   Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and  reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially,  the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes..
