Question
I have a Ti plant given to me ten years ago.  For 16 years it lived on a stair landing, bright indirect light and prospered with benign neglect.  For the past four years, it's had a place on honor in our living room, beside an southeast facing window, receiving morning sun and bright, indirect afternoon sun.
The problem is that it's grown so tall - has a thin, looooong stem and a bunch of green leaves at the top.
My question is, if I cut the stem well below the green leaves, will it survive and send out new shoots from the cut?  

Answer
Claire,

I would get a bottle of rooting hormone at my nearest garden center then cut the stem well below the green leaves and dip the cut end in the rooting hormone. Then place the cutting in a hole you have made in a fresh pot of potting soil. Firm the soil around the cutting and water.  Do not give it more water than you did the old plant. Yes, keep the old plant in the same location it has always been in and it will mostlikely send out new shoots just below the cut.  If you would prefer the old plant be even shorter you can cut it off more. There's a 75% chance the old stump will grow a new top and a 50% chance that the olf top will grow new roots. Be careful not to overwater. Goodluck.
