Tradescantia Callisia 'Pink Panther'

🔥🌸 Tradescantia/Callisia ‘Pink Panther’ (tray-duh-SCAN-tee-uh / kuh-LISS-ee-uh) 🌸🔥

Also known as: Pink Panther Plant, Pink Lady, Pink Turtle Vine (Callisia repens ‘Pink Panther’)

This charming trailing plant is adored for its tiny, plump leaves painted in shades of pink, lavender, cream, and green. The cascading vines form dense mats of color that spill beautifully from hanging baskets or creep along tabletops, creating a soft, whimsical look.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light maintains vivid pink tones. In lower light, leaves may turn greener; avoid harsh midday sun that can scorch delicate foliage.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Likes regular moisture but avoid soggy conditions. More drought-tolerant than many trailing plants, thanks to its semi-succulent leaves.
🌡️ Humidity – Adaptable to average household humidity but thrives in moderate to high humidity. Prefers temps of 60–85°F (15–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Fast-growing trailing habit. Regular pruning encourages fuller growth and prevents legginess. Easy to propagate from stem cuttings placed directly into soil.

📊 Difficulty: Easy (fast grower, forgiving, but color vibrancy depends on light).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains compounds that may cause mouth and stomach irritation in pets. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
For the brightest pink, keep in bright, indirect light and trim back regularly to encourage new colorful growth. Excellent as a spiller in mixed arrangements or on its own as a cascading showpiece.
