Callisia Repens ‘Pink Panther’ — Rare Variegated Trailing Plant

Callisia repens ‘Pink Panther’ — Rare Variegated Trailing Plant

Callisia repens ‘Pink Panther’ is a compact, trailing plant admired for its soft pastel coloration and delicate, bead-like leaves. Each leaf displays a blend of creamy white, pale green, and vibrant pink, creating a living mosaic that shifts with light and growth. As the stems mature, they cascade gracefully from containers, making Pink Panther a beautiful choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or decorative planters. Its petite leaves and dense growth pattern give it a plush, almost cushion-like appearance that feels both whimsical and refined.

Growth Habit

• Type: Trailing perennial houseplant.

• Mature Size: Trails 6–12 inches or more; compact and bushy with regular pruning.

• Foliage: Small, oval leaves with creamy, green, and pink variegation.

• Growth Rate: Fast in warm, bright conditions.

• Habit: Dense trailing stems that root easily along nodes.

Care & Cultivation

• Light: Bright, indirect light enhances pink coloration. Too little light causes green dominance; too much direct sun can fade or scorch leaves.

• Watering: Water when the top half inch of soil feels dry. Pink Panther prefers lightly moist soil but is sensitive to overwatering.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix; adding perlite improves aeration.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives at 65–80°F with moderate humidity. Protect from cold drafts and dry air.

• Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer.

• Pruning & Propagation: Trim to shape and maintain compactness. Very easy to propagate from stem cuttings — roots develop readily in water or soil.
