How to Select Healthy Ti Plant？

To purchase a healthy ti plant, inspect the leaves for vibrant and consistent color without yellowing or browning. Check for pests by examining the underside of leaves and stems. A healthy ti plant should have strong, upright stems and an overall vigorous appearance. Ensure the plant is not root-bound by gently lifting it from the pot to see if roots are circling tightly. Finally, choose a ti plant with new growth signs, indicating it is actively thriving.
