En culture
Native to tropical America , the creeping callisia is called "turtle vine" in the Antilles. The richness of its sap in minerals makes it a delicacy for certain pets such as turtles, chameleons and parakeets... It is an excellent food supplement .
But of course it makes a perfect ornamental plant (its name comes from the Greek kallos which means "beauty") with fleshy, dense and compact foliage, initially upright then drooping. It grows quickly, easily outdoors or indoors when it is cool. The flowers are pure white and give off a scent reminiscent of violets.
Available in 9cm pot or in pack of 10 branches for transplanting.
When you receive the branches to be replanted , simply stick them halfway into the potting soil , the Callisia roots very easily and quickly!
