Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, Callisia repens 'Turtle' naturally grows as ground cover in the moist understory of the Commelinaceae family. Its small, fleshy, round leaves striped green and cream in a pattern reminiscent of a turtle shell form dense, graceful trailing stems especially suited for hanging baskets and shelves.

Which variety of Callisia repens to choose?

Three varieties of Callisia repens are available in our catalog, each with a distinct color palette:

  • Callisia repens 'Turtle' (this plant) — green and cream striped leaves in a turtle pattern, compact trailing habit (H15 cm | Pot Ø10.5 cm). The most graphic and original version.
  • Callisia repens 'Rosato' — powder pink and soft green leaves, graceful trailing habit (H16 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The pastel pink version.
  • Callisia repens — uniform green, small round leaves, trailing habit (H17 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The classic green version.

Light & location

'Turtle' needs bright indirect light to maintain its contrasting cream stripes — in shade, the patterns fade and the leaves turn uniformly green. It is one of the best trailing plants to enhance an interior thanks to its unique graphic foliage.

  • Light: bright indirect to bright partial shade — avoid direct sun which burns the leaves.
  • Ideal: hanging near a window, bright shelf, windowsill, or desk.
  • Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes.
  • Substrate: light and well-drained — universal potting soil mixed with perlite.

Watering & care

Its fleshy leaves store enough water to withstand a few days of neglect — it’s better to underwater slightly than risk stem rot by leaving the substrate soggy.

  • Watering: moderate — let the top 2 to 3 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
  • Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, every 2 weeks in winter.
  • Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes, empty excess water from the saucer after watering.
  • Humidity: adapts to dry to medium humidity — tolerates dry air well.
  • Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer, diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
  • Pruning: pinch the tips to encourage branching and maintain a dense habit.

Decor ideas & plant combinations

Verdeia tips

  • Pinch the tips regularly: 'Turtle' naturally stretches toward the light — pinching the tips every 3 to 4 weeks stimulates branching and keeps a bushy, dense habit.
  • Propagate easily: a cut stem roots in 2 to 3 weeks in a glass of water — propagating plants by cuttings is especially simple with this species.
  • Keep bright light to preserve patterns: in shade, the cream stripes gradually fade and the leaves lose their characteristic graphic look — move it closer to a window at the first signs of greening.

Potential Fall Risk
Size: 2 pairs black L
While these socks do indeed help soften rough skin on your feet, there is a risk of falling while wearing them. Although they have treads on the bottom, which would indicate they’re safe to wear with nothing else, when you put moisturizer on and then wear them your foot can slip inside the sock . This causes you to lose your balance and fall, which happened to me. I’ve thrown them out.

I could be a foot model now!!!
Size: 1 pair black L
I wear work boots almost all of the time so I bought these to put on my feet with salycylic acid to moisturize and try to get rid of a stubborn corn on the ball of my foot. It helped drastically after a few nights of lounging in the house with them on.

Stains easily. Tight for men's size 11 feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs, Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
Husband wore dark cotton socks over these gel foot covers overnight and the covers picked up color from the socks. Tried hand washing, even dabbing with a bleach soaked paper towel, but the stains remained. The covers are a bit tight for men's size 11. Edit: After a few more hand washings the stains began to fade. However one tore around the leg opening when taking it off.

Worthless. Tore on first use.
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
The first time I put these on my feet, the whole toe broke right through. They were a proper fit and my feet are well pedicured. Just very poor quality. I don’t recommend.
