Description
Standing out from other Ti plants, ‘Red Sister’ sports flamboyant fuchsia pink to deep burgundy foliage, a sure way to brighten a room or add drama to an outdoor garden. The intensity of the variegated hot pink foliage color is influenced by amount of sunlight and growing conditions, and its brightest color comes when the plant is sited where medium or bright indirect light occurs in your home or office. A terrific easy going, low maintenance plant for beginner gardens, needing little more than regular watering, an occasional feeding, or perhaps a simple pruning. In warmer climates, this plant can be planted outdoors as a specimen, as a border hedge, or in a patio pot.
