Callisia - Repens 'Pink Lady' aka Turtle Vine
Callisia repens 'Pink Lady' is a low-growing succulent with stems that bear small round waxy leaves. It grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Leaves are up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) long and vary in color from green striped, pinkish, and cream with a burgundy underside. Flowers are small, white, and appear in late spring or early summer. Growing Turtle Vine is easy, and you will find the plants to be quite resilient. These plants typically grow in moist, well-drained, and acidic soil. Turtle Vine do best in partial shade but will do equally well in sunny areas as long as the soil is kept moist. You can grow Turtle Vine indoors too as long as suitable conditions are given. Trimming the growing tips encourages bushier growth. These plants like to be kept fairly moist, so water regularly, especially when growing them in containers. Cutting the plants back once flowering has ceased can often promote a second bloom and help prevent re-seeding.
