Brief

The Turtle Vine Plant (Callisia repens), also known as Creeping Inch Plant or Bolivian Jew, is a fast-growing, trailing plant with small, round, green-purple leaves that create a dense and cascading effect. It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets, terrariums, and ground cover due to its vibrant foliage and creeping growth habit. This low-maintenance plant is perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces, adding a lush and decorative touch to any setting.

Care Instructions:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. Too much direct sunlight may cause leaf scorching.

2. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid overwatering. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

3. Soil: Well-draining potting mix with peat moss or perlite for better aeration.

4. Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in 65-85°F (18-29°C). Prefers moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally in dry conditions.

5. Pruning: Trim leggy stems regularly to promote bushier growth and maintain shape.

6. Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).

7. Repotting & Propagation: Repot every 1-2 years if the plant outgrows its container. Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil.

8. Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant but may attract aphids or spider mites. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.

The Turtle Vine Plant is a charming, fast-growing, and easy-care plant that brings beauty, greenery, and fresh air to any home or garden!
