Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' #162

About Callisia repens 'Pink Lady'

Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' is an enchanting, low-growing semi-succulent admired for its delicate trailing stems, waxy striped foliage, and stunning pastel coloration. Its small, overlapping leaves feature a graceful, cascading arrangement, creating a dense, mat-forming habit with a refined, whimsical appearance.  

Under typical growing conditions, the foliage displays a striking variegation of soft green, creamy white, and vibrant bubblegum pink stripes, complemented by rich burgundy undersides. The coloration can become much more intense and vivid when the plant receives optimal bright light. In a thriving specimen, the cream and pink tones spread generously across the leaves, creating a glowing contrast against the deeper stems. The interplay of pastel shades gives the plant a soft, luminous quality.  

Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' naturally forms a lush, full trailing display as it grows. With strong, filtered light, the stems remain compact, and the characteristic pink coloration is easier to maintain. Color intensity and striping will vary naturally with the season and growing conditions so that plants may arrive with more subtle tones than the thriving specimen shown. Its charming pastel palette, delicate leaves, and trailing habit make Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' a gorgeous choice for collectors and plant lovers who appreciate vibrant, colorful trailing plants.

How to Care for Callisia repens 'Pink Lady'

Sun/Location:

Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' grows best in bright, indirect light with several hours of gentle morning sun or filtered light each day. Good light helps maintain its compact form and encourages the rich pink and cream variegation on the leaves. Bright indoor placement near an east- or west-facing window, or the use of a grow light, is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves and cause them to fade or dry out. Regular trimming of long stems also encourages a bushier, fuller appearance.

Soil/Pot:

Use a loose, porous, and well-draining succulent or potting soil mix for Callisia repens 'Pink Lady'. While it appreciates slightly more moisture than a typical desert succulent, its roots still perform best when excess water can drain away freely to prevent root rot. Incorporating perlite, pumice, or peat moss can improve aeration and texture. Choose a pot with drainage holes to keep the root system healthy and vibrant.

Watering:

Water when the top layer of the soil feels dry to the touch, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings without letting it stay completely bone dry for extended periods. During active growth in spring and summer, provide regular moisture, but reduce watering during the winter dormancy period. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, and water the soil directly rather than over the foliage to keep the dense mat of leaves healthy and pristine.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
