Callisia repens 'Pink Lady', also known as 'Pink Panther', is a charming, low-growing succulent that adds a splash of color to any indoor or outdoor garden. This variegated cultivar of Callisia repens features small, round, waxy leaves that come in a range of colors, from green-striped to pinkish and cream, with a burgundy underside. The plant grows up to 10 cm tall, and flowers in late spring or early summer with small, white blooms.
Caring for Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' is relatively easy, as it is a resilient plant that grows well in moist, well-drained soil with an acidic pH of 5 to 6. The plant prefers partial shade but can also thrive in sunny areas, as long as the soil is kept moist. If growing indoors, provide the plant with bright filtered light and pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth.
Watering should be done moderately during the plant's active growth, and sparingly in winter. The soil should be soaked thoroughly during watering, and then allowed to dry out completely before the next watering. Drainage is essential, and excess water should be allowed to freely drain from the pot and away from the plant's roots. The plant benefits from monthly feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the warm growing period, but not at all during the cooler winter months.
The Pink Lady is a semi-succulent plant, so it does not require too much water. Overwatering can be harmful to the plant, but it is otherwise low-maintenance and propagates easily. It prefers a bright position with indirect sunlight, and the more sunlight it receives, the pinker its foliage will be. Pinching the growing tips can encourage compact and fuller growth.
In summary, Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' is a beautiful, easy-to-care-for plant that is perfect for adding a pop of color to any indoor or outdoor garden. With its range of colorful leaves and charming blooms, this plant is sure to be a hit with any plant enthusiast.
