Callisia navicularis (also known as Chain Plant or Boat-Leaf Callisia) is a charming and easy-to-grow succulent from the Commelinaceae family. It’s native to Mexico and is popular among succulent enthusiasts for its trailing growth, compact leaves, and unique coloration.


🌿 Description

·         Scientific name: Callisia navicularis

·         Common names: Chain Plant, Boat-Leaf Callisia, Inch Plant

·         Type: Trailing succulent perennial

The plant forms dense mats of small, boat-shaped leaves (hence the name “navicularis,” meaning boat-like).
Leaves are green to purplish on top and deep purple underneath. Under bright sunlight, the purple tones become more vivid, making it an attractive ornamental plant.


🌞 Light Requirements

·         Prefers bright indirect light or filtered sunlight.

·         Can tolerate full sun for a few hours, which enhances the purple color.

·         Too little light will cause leggy growth and faded leaves.

Tip: Morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal.


💧 Watering

·         Water moderately—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

·         Overwatering can cause root rot.

·         In winter, water sparingly (once every 2–3 weeks).

Rule: “Less water is better than too much.”


🌱 Soil

·         Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.

·         You can improve drainage by mixing:

o    2 parts cactus soil

o    1 part perlite or pumice


🌡️ Temperature

·         Ideal range: 18–30°C (65–85°F)

·         Protect from frost — it’s not cold-hardy.

·         Minimum temperature: 10°C (50°F)


💨 Humidity

·         Prefers dry to moderate humidity.

·         Avoid keeping it in overly humid or poorly ventilated areas.


🌸 Flowers

·         Produces tiny pinkish-white flowers on short stalks, typically in spring or summer.

·         The blooms are small but charming.


🌿 Growth Habit

·         Grows low and trailing, making it perfect for:

o    Hanging baskets

o    Ground cover in warm climates

o    Table or shelf displays (where stems can cascade down)

You can easily pinch or trim the tips to encourage fuller growth.


🌱 Propagation

Very easy to propagate:

·         Take stem cuttings and root them in moist soil or water.

·         Roots usually form in 1–2 weeks.
