Callisia Rosato - Pink Lady

The Pink Lady (Callisia Repens) is a low growing, perennial succulent that primarily grows during the late spring and early summer. This evergreen plant can grow up to 4 inches tall and spread up to 4 feet or more. Characterized by stems filled with small, waxy round leaves, Pink Lady plants range from green striped colours to pigments of pink and cream. Pink Ladies are low-maintenance plants that thrive off of moist soil and minimal exposure to direct sunlight. 

Lighting:

While Pink Ladies are resilient plants, they’re used to humid and temperate climates. Don’t place your Pink Ladies by the window. Direct sunlight can be harmful for Pink Ladies, lessening their chances of survival. Instead, keep them at least 6 feet away from the windows near bright, indirect sunlight. Move them a little closer to the windows during their growing season from March to October. 

Watering:

When it comes to Pink Lady succulents, moisture is everything. You want to avoid overwatering without letting the soil completely dry out. To know when to water your Pink Lady plant, lift up the pot. If it feels light in your hands, it’s time to hydrate your plant. 

Thoroughly water the soil, but allow for the top most layer to completely dry before watering again. The soil should be moist, not soggy. Place it in a container that allows for proper drainage.
