The Tradescantia 'Pink Panther', also known as Callisia repens 'Pink Panther', is a captivating houseplant celebrated for its vibrant, variegated leaves that display shades of pink, purple, green, and cream. This fast-growing, trailing plant is ideal for adding a splash of color to indoor spaces.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and exhibit a striking mix of pink, purple, green, and cream hues. As the plant matures, the leaves may develop a metallic sheen, enhancing its visual appeal.

  • Growth Habit: Tradescantia 'Pink Panther' is a trailing plant that can reach up to 12 inches (30 cm) in height and spread up to 24 inches (60 cm) in width. It is well-suited for hanging baskets or as a cascading accent in mixed plantings.

Care Requirements:

  • Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may cause the leaves to scorch. For optimal growth and coloration, place it near a window with filtered light.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix designed for houseplants or one amended with perlite works well.

  • Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering.

  • Temperature and Humidity: Tradescantia 'Pink Panther' prefers warm temperatures between 65°F (18°C) and 75°F (24°C) and average humidity levels. To increase humidity, consider misting the leaves or placing the pot on a humidity tray.
