Description
The Turtle Vine, also known as Callisia repens, is a fast-growing, trailing plant that adds a soft, lush touch to any green space. With its tiny, turtle shell–like leaves and delicate trailing stems, this plant is ideal for hanging baskets, railing planters, or as a natural spiller in mixed arrangements. It arrives well-rooted in a nursery grow bag, ready to be repotted or hung wherever you want to create some green movement.
The foliage has a charming mix of deep green, purplish undersides, and soft, fleshy leaves that feel lovely to touch. It thrives in bright indirect light and prefers to stay on the drier side, making it perfect for low-effort plant parents. With a bit of trimming, it becomes even fuller and trails beautifully.
Whether you’re aiming to cover a pot edge, fill a shelf with soft greenery, or simply enjoy a graceful trailing plant, Turtle Vine is a delight to care for and watch grow.
