Callisia Rosato - Callisia fragrans
Bright, indirect light is best; too little light can cause leggy growth, while too much direct sun may scorch leaves.
Water when the top layer of soil feels dry; avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Feed monthly with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.
Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes rootbound; best done in spring.
