too much leg

19 years ago

Hi , I have several red cordyline (Ti)plants and they are getting very leggy. In fact on most of them the only leaves are near the top of the plant. Can I cut the tops to promote a bushier plant. On some this would leave only a stalk. Will they grow out also?

you can use pieces of stem (cane) about three inches long to propagate cordyline.
