• Foliage:

  • The leaves of Callisia rosato are small, oval, and slightly fleshy, giving the plant a succulent-like appearance. Each leaf is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long.
  • The foliage is a beautiful blend of green, pink, and purple hues. The undersides of the leaves are often more purple, while the tops may display a mix of green and pink, giving the plant a vibrant and colorful look.
  • The leaves are densely packed along trailing stems, creating a lush, mat-like growth.

• Growth Habit:

  • Callisia rosato is a low-growing, creeping plant that typically reaches about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) in height but can spread out to form a mat or cascade over the edges of containers.
  • The plant has a trailing habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, or as a ground cover in small areas.

• Light Requirements:

  • This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant coloration. It can tolerate lower light levels, but the pink coloration may fade, and the plant may become more leggy.
  • It should be protected from direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, as this can scorch the leaves.
