How I did it
It made me

After they were pretty dry, I put them in baggies and loaded the baggies in the freezer. The trick is to put about one cup or so in each small baggie, leave a bit of air in the bag, seal it and lay it flat in the freezer to freeze. TIPS: Fresh is best. Fill the … Read how I did it…

Hawaiian Ti Plant
9 months ago
Well, guess what? Putting it in water didn’t do anything except make the water absolutely reek! I have changed the water over and over, still nothing. And the smell is beyond tolerable—-so, I have tossed the offending ti plant stick away! Too bad, so sad!
