An adorable plant with small green leaves. Despite its small size, it adds volume and density as it grows. To keep its shape compact and plump, it is recommended to pinch the tips of the stems frequently. Callisias also prefer bright rooms and can be very sensitive to overwatering. It is important to let the potting soil dry completely before watering.
Non-toxic, but sap in contact with skin may cause mild irritation.
