Best way to root Ti Plant
 

On the package it says to lay it in a saucer of water and roots will grow out
of the ends. OK, then how do you put it in the dirt? With roots out of both
ends of the stick, where does the foliage grow.
A message board on the internet said to just stick it in soil.
Any advice?

I did one of those years and years ago. I seem to recall there was wax
I had to scrape off maybe? I think I put it in water vertically and
then when the roots started showing, put it into soil. IIRC, they're
almost impossible to do wrong, though.

I confess I've been away from the newsgroup for a year or two (more?),
so I've lost the details of what I once knew about posters in the fogs
of the intervening years. ;-)
