The ‘Pink Lady’ Callisia repens is a charming and fast-growing trailing plant renowned for its striking pink and green variegated foliage. Its small, succulent-like leaves create a dense, cascading display, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets, terrariums, or as a vibrant groundcover in shaded areas. This easy-to-care-for plant adds a pop of colour and texture to any indoor space or outdoor garden in India.
Benefits:
Adds vibrant colour and texture; ideal for hanging displays, terrariums, and tabletops; relatively low maintenance; fast-growing; enhances aesthetic appeal.
Care Instructions:
Place in a location with bright indirect light, avoiding harsh direct sun, especially during the Indian summer afternoons. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler winter months. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring to monsoon) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Pinch back leggy growth to encourage a bushier, fuller plant. Maintain good air circulation.

Hanging baskets, terrariums, desk plants, shelf decor, window sills, balcony gardens (shaded), groundcover in shaded outdoor areas.
Common Problems:
Leggy growth (insufficient light), dull leaf colour (lack of adequate light), root rot (overwatering), spider mites or mealybugs (can occur, especially in dry conditions).
