My favorite time of the day is when the morning sunlight streams though on my ti leaf plants. The ti leaf was super important to Hawaiians. They were made into capes to protect from rain, dried and made into sandals, and had many medicinal benefits. As a kid I learned how to make ti leaf skirts for hula performances and ti leaf lei to give. More recently I learned how to tie them as a natural wrapping paper for gifts.

Do you have a favorite house plant that brightens your day?
