Care information

Callisia repens cv. ‘Pink Panther’

*Callisia repens* ‘Pink Panther’ is a small, creeping plant with pink, cream, and green variegated leaves. Its compact stems spread and trail easily, making it a good choice for terrariums, dish gardens, or small pots where it can cascade over the edges. It stays tight and low to the surface, forming a colorful mat of foliage under the right conditions.

You will receive an **unrooted cutting**, grower’s choice. It will be similar in size and form to the one pictured but not the exact plant. Shipped bare-root or in moss depending on conditions.

**Light Requirements:** Bright, indirect light. Low light reduces pink color.
**Humidity Requirements:** Moderate to high, 50–80%. Does fine in household humidity but grows best with more.
**Temperature Range:** 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep above 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Creeping/trailing. Small overlapping leaves form dense mats or trailing stems.
**Soil:** Well-draining tropical mix. Works in shallow pots, moss, or coco blends.
**pH:** 6.0–7.0.
**Size:** Very small leaves, \~0.5 cm across. Trails outward as it grows.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Commelinaceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
40–60%
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.

Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
