Tradescantia Pink Panther (Callisia repens Pink Panther) is a popular houseplant that's easy to care for and known for its bright pink, variegated leaves. Here are some tips for caring for this plant:
-
LightPlace the plant in a bright location with indirect light for at least 4–6 hours a day. This can be a bright window with morning sun, or a room up to three feet away from a hot window. Avoid direct afternoon sun. Bright light helps maintain the plant's distinctive coloring and keeps it compact.
-
WaterWater the plant thoroughly when the top half of the soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain away from the roots. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's best to underwater slightly.
-
SoilUse a well-draining, porous, sandy soil mix, such as equal parts peat moss, perlite, and sand.
