Callisia repens 'Pink Panther'

Callisia repens 'Pink Panther' Callisia repens 'Pink Panther' is a charming miniature trailing houseplant loved for its tiny, colorful leaves splashed with shades of green, cream, and bubblegum pink. Often compared to a miniature Tradescantia, this compact grower forms dense mats of delicate foliage that gracefully spill over the edges of hanging baskets, small pots, and terrariums. Its vibrant variegation and petite size make it a favorite among collectors and anyone looking to add a pop of color to their indoor plant collection. Unlike larger trailing plants, 'Pink Panther' stays naturally compact, typically reaching only about 4 inches tall while producing cascading stems that become more beautiful with time. Providing brighter light and allowing the soil to dry between waterings helps maintain its dense, colorful growth and prevents leggy stems.
