Ti plant Care: Cut single waxed end off and plant vertically in soil and pot provided. Keep soil moist and plant in partial shade until leaves arrive. Slowly move to full sun by transitioning the plant. Can survive outdoors in places that don’t get cooler than 60 degrees, other wise makes a great house plant. Feed me plant sticks and move me to a larger pot once I get too big for my starter pot.
