Care Instructions

• Light: Callisia 'Pink Lady' thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the vibrant colors to fade.
• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as the plant is sensitive to overwatering. During the winter months, reduce watering slightly.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (16°C-24°C). Protect the plant from drafts, cold temperatures, or sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: Callisia 'Pink Lady' enjoys moderate to high humidity. Mist the plant occasionally or place it near a humidifier if your home has dry air, especially during the winter.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Adding perlite or sand can improve drainage.
• Fertilization: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can damage the plant.
• Pruning: Regularly pinch back leggy growth to maintain the plant’s bushy, compact appearance. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use fresh potting soil and a pot with drainage holes.
• Pests and Diseases: Watch for pests like spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and fungal issues.
• Decorating Tip: Display Callisia 'Pink Lady' in a hanging planter or let its vibrant pink foliage cascade over the edge of a shelf or pot. Pair it with other colorful plants for a striking arrangement.

With its delightful pink hues and easy-care nature, Callisia 'Pink Lady' is sure to brighten up your home, offering a playful and elegant touch to any indoor plant collection.
