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.
