Purple Callisia repens "Turtle" succulent, also known as Callisia repens ‘Pink Lady’, Callisia repens ‘Turtle Vine’, or sometimes just Turtle Vine.

Here’s a clear overview 👇


🌱 Basic Info

  • Scientific name: Callisia repens
  • Common names: Turtle Vine, Creeping Inch Plant, Bolivian Jew, Pink Lady, or simply Callisia.
  • Family: Commelinaceae (same family as Tradescantia)
  • Type: Succulent-like trailing plant (technically not a true succulent, but behaves like one)

🌈 Appearance

  • Leaves: Small, round to heart-shaped leaves that grow densely on creeping stems.
  • Color:
    • The top of the leaves is usually green to purple.
    • The underside is often deep purple or magenta.
    • Some varieties (like ‘Pink Lady’) show pink and cream variegation.
  • Texture: Fleshy, slightly succulent leaves that retain water.
  • Growth habit: Low, spreading, and trailing — great for hanging pots, terrariums, or ground cover.

🌞 Light Requirements

  • Thrives in bright, indirect light.
  • Can tolerate some direct morning sun, which enhances the purple and pink tones.
  • Too little light → leaves turn greener and lose their vibrancy.
  • Too much direct sun → leaves may scorch or fade.

💧 Watering

  • Treat like a semi-succulent:
    • Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
    • Avoid overwatering (roots are prone to rot).
  • In winter: water less frequently.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Prefers warm temps (18–28°C / 65–82°F).
  • Protect from cold drafts and frost (below 10°C / 50°F).
  • Tolerates average indoor humidity, but enjoys slightly humid conditions.

🌿 Soil

  • Use a well-draining mix — cactus/succulent soil or regular potting mix with added perlite.
  • Good drainage is essential.

✂️ Growth & Maintenance

  • Fast grower — can trail up to 1–2 feet.
  • Pinch or trim stems regularly to encourage bushy growth.
  • Easy to propagate: just cut a stem and root it in water or directly in soil.

🪴 Uses

  • Excellent for:
    • Hanging baskets
    • Tabletop or shelf planters
    • Terrariums (with pruning)
    • Color contrast in mixed succulent arrangements
