This plant's trailing foliage is adorably compact with its tiny leaves and narrow stems. In its natural habitat, it grows across the floor and, while in your home it won't root in your carpet, it will look great hanging or trailing or adding a splash of colour inside a terrarium. This Callisia's glossy green leaves have purple undersides, a colour whose vibrancy is especially clear in the right amount of light. With a bright location out of direct sun, above-average humidity and moist soil, this plant will be happy to keep growing and trailing at your pleasure. It is also easy to propagate from cuttings, so you can snip it back and propagate to keep it bushy and compact.

Scientific Name
Callisia repens (beautiful creeping plant)

Synonyms
Hapalanthus repens, Tradescantia callisia, Tradescantia repens 

This species name was first published in 1762 and is still accepted today.

Common Names
Turtle Vine, Creeping Inch Plant, Inch Plant, Waterweek, Creeping Basket Plant, Chain Plant

Origin
Native to Central and South America, particularly in tropical regions (Northeastern & Northwestern Argentina, Aruba, Belize, Bolivia, Northeastern Brazil, Cayman Is., Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Leeward Is., Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Texas (US), Trinidad-Tobago, Venezuela, Venezuelan Antilles, Windward Is.)

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. In lower light, growth may slow, and colours may become less vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth naturally slows.

Humidity
Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels. Because of this, it does well in terrarium environments, and may benefit from the introduction of a humidity tray if in a drier spot.

Soil
This is a succulent Callisia, so use a well-draining mix with components like sand and grit to keep it happy. A mix designed for cacti and succulents will work well here. Repot every year or two as the plant grows.

Food
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter.

Temperature
Ideal temperatures are between 18-24°C. Avoid temperatures below 10°C and protect from cold draughts.

Pet-safe?
Yes, it's non-toxic to pets, making it a safe option for households with animals.

Sprouts Top Tips
If the leaves start to lose their colour, this can indicate the plant needs more light. However, yellowing leaves may signal overwatering, so adjust watering as needed. For a fuller growth habit, pinch back the tips of the stems to encourage branching.

Extras
This plant’s compact and dense growth makes it an ideal choice for terrariums, where it can thrive with the consistent moisture and higher humidity levels.

Important reading for every working woman!
Format: Hardcover
Let me start by saying that this isn't a genre I am normally drawn to. I usually am a fiction reader, but a trusted friend recommended this book so highly that I felt I should give it a chance. I'm so glad I put aside my hesitation, as I really feel this is a book that every woman in the American workforce should read. It is a fascinating primer in how we got where we are, and how much effort it took to gain even our somewhat compromised equality. While the legal issues involved can be a little complex, Thomas does an excellent job of breaking them down into straightforward concepts. I also really appreciated her ability to make the whole process of moving a case up through the Court of Appeals and eventually to the Supreme Court come to life. For those of us who are not in the legal profession, this process can seem mysterious, but this book made it easy to understand. By clearly and patiently laying out the facts of each case, Thomas also gives the reader the opportunity to test their own assumptions and think through the logic of the cases for themselves. For me, it was a fascinating opportunity to weigh my assumptions about my political leanings against my intellectual analysis of the facts, and I often surprised myself. All in all, I think this is an important book, and also a surprisingly accessible and engaging one. You will feel smarter and much more informed after reading it. And if you are a woman, you may well also feel grateful for those brave women (and men) who fought and struggled to make your experience in the workplace fairer.

Like a real-life legal thriller. Especially if you're thrilled by the progress we've made.
Format: Hardcover
This book, while deeply researched and rigorous, is the opposite of legalese. Thomas's vivid, thoughtful, witty storytelling reveals the real (and courageous) people behind the cases that made employment discrimination law what it is today. It shows not just the impact of law on people, but the impact of people on law. These women's struggles (and those of the advocates at their side) are both infuriating and inspiring. (That was me on the subway yelling at the book, alternating between "WHAT THE HELL?!" and "YOU GO, IDA!") Read it on the train, read it on the beach; just read it. I have a zillion friends with spring birthdays, not to mention my mom (who came of working age during this gender-siloed Mad-Men-tastic era) and I'm buying it for every single one.

A serious read about a very relevant, non-fiction topic... not a light hearted read.
Format: Kindle
A serious non-fiction, not a leisurely novel... very detailed, lots of research went into this, and a lot to be learned from reading thru it.. an excellent education of all that leads up to our Supreme Court,... and serious relevance to the 60’s, 70’s, up to now.... for many women.

Entertaining read
Format: Kindle
I wanted to educate myself on some of the issues that are presented in this book. If you're looking for just factual case-law and supreme court decisions this is not the book you're looking for. This book presents the cases in a story and gives a lot of detail about what went on in the lives of the people involved in these lawsuits outside of the courtroom. The only thing that I wish would have been talked about in greater detail would be a more in-depth look at the opinions and reasons from the justices that were not voting in favor of the plaintiffs.
