Ti plant propagation

The past few days we have been trimming beds throughout both courses.  Instead of dumping the clippings from the colorful ti plants in the organic waste bin we propagated nearly 500 plants.  This plant lends itself to successful propagation due to its "palm like" growth habit.  We simply cut the stem just below the bottom leaves at a 45 degree angle and stick it into potting soil behind our maintenance facility.  FYI:  500 ti plants would cost around $2,500!
