{"product_id":"callisia-rosata-turtle-vine-creeping-inch-plant","title":"Callisia rosata - Turtle Vine \/ Creeping Inch Plant","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis plant's trailing foliage is adorably compact with its tiny leaves and narrow stems. In its natural habitat, it grows across the floor and, while in your home it won't root in your carpet, it will look great hanging or trailing or adding a splash of colour inside a terrarium. This Callisia's shimmering pale pink and green leaves are especially vibrant in the right amount of light. With a bright location out of direct sun, above-average humidity and moist soil, this plant will be happy to keep growing and trailing at your pleasure. It is also easy to propagate from cuttings, so you can snip it back and propagate to keep it bushy and compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eCallisia repens\u003c\/em\u003e 'Rosato' (beautiful creeping plant, cultivar: rosy)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHapalanthus repens, Tradescantia callisia, Tradescantia repens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis species name was first published in 1762 and is still accepted today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTurtle Vine, Pink Lady, Pink Panther Plant, Creeping Inch Plant, Callisia\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to Central and South America, particularly in tropical regions (Northeastern \u0026amp; Northwestern Argentina, Aruba, Belize, Bolivia, Northeastern Brazil, Cayman Is., Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Leeward Is., Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Texas (US), Trinidad-Tobago, Venezuela, Venezuelan Antilles, Windward Is.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth.
