DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Callisia repens is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. The plant enjoys a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry, but avoid letting it sit in water. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile addition to any plant collection.
Sol
Callisia repens prefers well-draining soil, such as a loam-based mix. Ensure the soil is kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand can help improve drainage.
Engrais
Fertilize Callisia repens with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Rempotage
Repot Callisia repens every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
Propagation
Callisia repens can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least a few leaves and place it in water or directly into moist soil. Roots should develop within a few weeks. Propagation is best done during the growing season.
Taille
Pruning is beneficial for Callisia repens to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy or overgrown stems using clean, sharp scissors. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season as needed.
Toxicité
Callisia repens is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always a good idea to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.
