Callisia ‘Pink Panther’, also commonly sold as ‘Pink Lady’, is a beautiful trailing plant with small, fleshy leaves displaying shades of pink, cream, white, and green. Its compact, cascading growth makes it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, terrariums, or as a colourful accent plant.
🌱 Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain strong pink and cream colouring. A little gentle morning or evening sun can enhance the colour.
💧 Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Avoid consistently wet soil, as the delicate roots can rot.
💦 Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical household conditions.
🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures around 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
🪴 Soil: Use a light, well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite helps improve drainage.
🌿 Growth: A fast-growing, trailing plant that can be regularly pinched or trimmed to encourage a fuller, bushier appearance. Stem cuttings root easily, making propagation simple.
🐾 Pet Friendly: Callisia repens is not considered pet-safe and may cause irritation or gastrointestinal upset if consumed.
⭐ Care Tip: More bright light generally means more pink! If the plant starts producing mostly green leaves, move it gradually into a brighter location. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
