Pot Size

Meet the Creeping Inch Plant—the tiny, trailing carpet of the jungle. With her miniature, waxy green leaves and purple undersides, she’s a fast-growing vine that loves to spill over the edges of pots. She’s cute, compact, and one of the easiest ways to add a "curtain" of green to your shelves!

  • The Formal Name: Callisia repens
  • The Nickname: Turtle Vine or Bolivian Jew
  • Roots: Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America.
  • Natural Vibe: Creeping across the forest floor in moist, shaded areas.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Loves bright, indirect light. Morning sun is great, but midday sun will scorch her tiny leaves.
  • Best Room: Hanging in a window or sitting high on a bright bookshelf.
  • Snacks: A balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: Appreciates humidity but is very adaptable to normal indoor air.
  • Cosy Factor: Happy in average home temps (15–26°C).
  • Thirst: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. She’ll wilt slightly if she's too dry.
  • Safety First: Non-toxic to most, but can cause mild skin irritation in some pets.
  • The Bedding: A light, well-draining potting mix with perlite.
  • Family Tree: Incredibly easy to propagate—just snip a piece and push it into moist soil.
  • Space Needs: A low-growing creeper that can trail 30–60 cm or more.
  • Speed: Super-fast! She’ll fill a pot in no time.
  • Uninvited Guests: Mostly pest-resistant, but watch for spider mites if the air is too dry.
  • Moving Day: She has shallow roots and rarely needs a large pot; repot every 2 years.
  • Haircut: Pinch back the ends regularly to keep her looking full and bushy.
  • Fresh Air: A tiny but mighty air-purifying vine.
  • Plant Lore: Often called "Turtle Vine" because turtles and other small reptiles love to snack on her in the wild!
