Locally Grown Houseplants: Introducing the Pink Lady

The Pink Lady (Callisia Repens) is an attractive, low-growing perennial succulent that thrives during late spring and early summer. This evergreen plant can grow up to 4 inches tall and spread up to 4 feet, boasting small, waxy, round leaves in a lovely pink and light green stripe pattern. It's a fantastic ground cover and works well for tropical terrariums or displays, preferring slightly humid environments.

Planting and Care

Ensure your Pink Lady thrives by prioritizing proper drainage and soil aeration. Select pots with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and prevent root rot. Enhance soil aeration through weekly shovel probing, creating air pockets for optimal root growth.

Repot your plant every 1-3 years, using a pot only one size larger and fresh, well-draining soil. Propagate using seeds, cuttings, or offsets. Pink Lady produces delicate pink to creamy flowers in late spring and early summer, adding a pastel touch to its sweet colors.

Lighting, Watering, and Temperature

Pink Lady prefers light shade or partial sun, avoiding direct, harsh sunlight. Indoors, keep it at least 6 feet from windows, as direct light can be harmful. Water when the soil feels dry, allowing the top layer to dry before the next watering. Mist regularly in dry areas to maintain humidity.

This plant thrives between 50-86°F and is not frost-hardy. Household humidity levels are typically sufficient, but aim for 30-40% in winter and 50-60% in summer.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

Pink Lady is classified as poisonous, so keep it away from pets and children. Common issues include root rot from overwatering, and fading leaves from insufficient light.

We ship plants bare-root in sturdy boxes. If temperatures are below 40°F, purchase a winter heat pack. Upon arrival, let potted plants rest 2-3 days before watering. If the soil is wet, remove excess and let the roots dry before repotting.

We offer replacements for any plants that arrive broken or dead. Your satisfaction is our priority, so let us know if you have any concerns.

Enjoy your new green companion and watch it thrive in your space!
