The Pink Panther (Callisia repens ‘Pink Panther’) is a compact trailing plant prized for its tiny leaves variegated in green, cream, and pink. Its vibrant colors become more pronounced in brighter light, creating a cheerful accent for shelves, desks, or hanging planters. Easy to grow and maintain, this plant adds a splash of tropical charm indoors year-round.
Product Features
Hardiness Zone
Pink Panther thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to moderate light conditions. Too little light may cause the pink tones to fade, while too much direct sun can scorch the delicate leaves. It grows best in average household temperatures above 60°F. Callisia repens that are planted outside of these zones may struggle to thrive.
Watering & Soil
Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top layer begins to dry. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent soggy roots, and avoid letting the plant completely dry out. Consistent, moderate watering will keep the foliage lush and colorful.
Growth & Maintenance
This plant has a low, trailing growth habit perfect for cascading over pots or creating a full mat of color. Pinching back stems encourages a denser, bushier shape. It’s a fast grower and can be trimmed easily to maintain its size.
Pet Safety
Like other Callisia varieties, Pink Panther can cause mild irritation if chewed on by cats or dogs. It’s best to keep it out of reach of pets to avoid skin irritation or digestive upset.
Hardiness zone for this plant: 9 - 11
