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. Discover our full Callisia collection and our non-toxic indoor plants.

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.

Beat the Humidity with This Citrus Powerhouse
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
​In the middle of a brutal, humid Philippine summer, finding a body wash that actually boosts your confidence is a game-changer. Cremo’s Italian Bergamot isn’t just a soap; it’s a full olfactory experience. It opens with a vibrant, tart Italian bergamot that immediately cuts through the heat, followed by the freshness of vetiver, and the neroli blossom adds a sophisticated floral touch. ​True to Cremo’s Reserve collection, the scent is beautifully layered. It builds in intensity as you lather, allowing the earthy, fresh vetiver to anchor the citrus. Unlike many drugstore options, this lingers—stepping out of the shower, you can still catch the crisp citrus and the clean, woody dry-down on your skin. It’s the ultimate reset for a hot day.

I Smell Like a Gentleman Who Owns a Fireplace
Scent: Bourbon Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The fragrance is warm, woody, and slightly sweet...that low amber note that smells expensive without trying to smell expensive, which, as we all know, is the actual expensive smell. My wife walked past me twenty minutes post-shower and said, unprompted, "You smell really good." I nodded like I had planned this. The lather is genuinely rich; squeeze a modest amount and it blooms into a thick, creamy foam that covers everything efficiently. The texture is silky rather than watery, which matters more than people admit. Watery body washes feel like rinsing off with slightly scented regret. This one feels intentional. It cleans, and your skin actually feels clean afterward, not just rinsed. And the moisturizing? I wasn't expecting it. No greasy film, no lotion-begging dry patches by midday. Just quietly softer skin that doesn't make a big announcement about it. Now, my honest gripe: the scent longevity has a ceiling. By mid-afternoon you're back to neutral. That's the gap between four stars and five for me. For daily freshness and an incredible morning window of smelling genuinely great, it absolutely delivers...but it won't carry you to bedtime. On value: 16 fl oz is decent, the lather is efficient so the bottle lasts, and the price sits in that sweet spot where you feel like someone who makes slightly elevated but still reasonable choices, which is exactly the vibe this entire product is going for.

Lathers great in a small amount!
Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bergamot, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Lathers great for a small amount! A fair price for the amount and rich content. I just bought, used and love it. Definitely will purchase again. I love the sophisticated yet sensible smell doesn't overpower. In my perception it is a unisex scent as I am a woman and bought for myself.
