Growth habits of Callisia repens
Callisia repens prefers a warm and humid environment with strong scattered light and partial shade; light should be kept at medium intensity, and even low light allows it to grow normally. The growing temperature is evenly maintained at 16-24 degrees, with 5 degrees in winter being optimal. It likes fertile, loose soil containing organic matter, and grows best in loose sandy soil.
Cultivation of Callisia repens
Callisia repens can be propagated by cuttings. The vines can be cut off and half of the vine buried in sand or loose soil, keeping it warm and moist without accumulating water; once rooted, it can be planted.
Callisia repens can also be propagated by division. Apart from the cold winter, planting can be carried out throughout the propagation period.
For potted plants, when repotting is needed, the crowded potted seedlings can have their old soil removed and be divided into several clumps, with each clump potted separately to become a new plant.
