: I have a tropical plant that I inherited from my mother in law before she died. I think it is a rather common plant -- it was picked up at Lowes.
: It has a fleshy stalk (elbows where the lower leaves are gone) and the leaves are long and purple. It got sunburned a few weeks ago, but now there is new growth.
: One of the stems is leaning rather badly and I want to know what to do to fix this and how to propogate.
: Also, one of the stems has a baby growing off it. Can I remove and replant that baby?

: Thanks.

This plant is a Red Sister Ti plant.. . in case anyone else ever wants to know
