Basket Plant: Broad Leaves and Spreading Runners
Callisia fragrans 'Basket Plant' brings broad, fleshy leaves and spreading growth to a sheltered container. Its leafy form makes a useful contrast to compact succulent rosettes.
- 🌿 Broad foliage: Long leaves create a full, leafy display.
- 🌱 Spreading growth: Runners can develop new plantlets.
- 🪴 Container appeal: A pot helps keep its vigorous growth within bounds.
Choose Basket Plant for a bright, sheltered display with space around its developing runners.
Care Tips
Light: Provide bright filtered light or gentle sun; avoid sudden exposure to intense afternoon heat.
Water: Allow the upper mix to dry, then water and drain thoroughly. Avoid prolonged severe wilting or waterlogged roots. Reduce watering in cooler, slower growth.
Soil: Use a well-drained houseplant mix with added perlite and a pot with drainage holes.
Temperature: Protect from frost and freezing weather; bring containers under cover before cold conditions arrive.
Growth control: Keep contained and prevent discarded stems from rooting outdoors, particularly in warm climates.
