Water and Hardiness

Native to New Zealand, eastern Australia, southeastern Asia, and the islands of the Pacific, the ti plant is best suited to USDA hardiness zone 8-11.

While the plant is not classed as completely hardy, mature plants will survive the winter months outdoors in milder regions. The ti plant will survive in temperatures between 41 to 59 ℉ but thrives in temperatures above 61 ℉. Mature plants may survive down to 23 ℉ for short periods, but if the temperature drops to below 34 ℉ for long periods, then the health of the plant may begin to suffer.

If growing indoors, be sure to move your plant away from any cold drafts, particularly when the temperature drops. Though mature plants are capable of surviving the winter, younger plants are more prone to frost damage.

The ti plant is fairly easy to care for as long as attention is paid to how much you water your plant to prevent the soil from drying out. This will depend on the local environment and humidity levels.
