Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Callisia Pink Panther after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Went through a rollercoaster of emotions with this one! Here are some progress pictures: 😊 When I first bought her 🥰 Thriving for a couple of months 😬 Grew a comb-over hairstyle cause I never chop and propped before 🫣 Finally gave her a cut 😅 3 months later: She’s bushier than ever with a head full of hair again Moral of the story: Some plants just need maintenance haircuts haha #HappyPlants #BeforeAndAfter

Why does it look so sad? Following the watering schedule given and has plenty of light. #CallisiaPinkPanther

What happened to my plant? I just moved to a new apartment and place my plant on the windowsill where it doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, (it got a lot of direct sunlight in the old apartment), it turns to this after about a week. Most of the leaves became colorless like it’s withering, and they became dry. I thought it’s due to lack of water and sunlight, so I watered it and placed it in another window where there are more sunlight about four days ago. But the situation doesn’t get much better. Does anyone know what is going on with the plant? Thx 😿

New babies! Got home yesterday and was honestly and completely EXHAUSTED so didn’t post until now. Went to Lowe’s during my grocery run and saw some new stuff! This is my first year of exploring the new opening season of fresh plants in stock and it’s exciting ❤️❤️❤️ I couldn’t go home without this cute variegated #ScheffleraArdoricola mini #UmbrellaPlant His colors are so pretty 🤩 They also had some gorgeous #BirdsNestFerns (this is my very first fern lol). Saw a picture of this plant in one of my books and fell in love with it. The bright green wavy foliage is so lovely 🥰 Also saw this #CallisiaPinkPanther hanging around and she seemed to be all by her lonesome. I don’t think they had anymore and if they did they were hiding. Look at this colorful thing! Is she not precious?!? I gave her a trim this morning and shaped her up. Her details are beautiful 😍 Can’t wait to see these babies grow this year. Absolutely so thankful I got to see the beginning of this season’s new arrivals and can’t wait to explore more later. #HappyPlants #PlantMom #PlantShopping #LowesDelivery #Ferns #VarigatedPlants #SoExcited #FirstOfTheYear
