Introducing the stunning Creeping inch plant, known as Callisia repens Gold, which is a miniature trailing plant that adds a touch of vibrant gold hues to any indoor or outdoor space. Belonging to the Bolivian Wandering Jew family, this variety of Callisia repens is also known as bolivian jew or turtle vine.

Native to South and Central America, the creeping inch plant is a popular choice for hanging baskets, terrariums, or ground cover in gardens.

The Callisia repens turtle vine has other varieties like the Pink Lady (Callisia repens variegated) and Pink Panther (Tradescantia Callisia repens), which are known for their beautiful pink foliage and trailing growth habit. 

This creeping inch plant Callisia repens is characterized by its bright golden-yellow foliage, which stands out beautifully against its trailing stems. 

The stunning golden oval-shaped leaves contrasted with a pink or purple underside are a true show-stopper. It contrasts well with its purple stems.

Callisia repens planthas a typical bushy growth with trailing habit. It is a miniature plant that grows between 4 to 12 inches tall. 

The flowers of the creeping inch plant bloom during summer and fall with small white flowers. These flowers add a delicate touch to the creeping plant's overall appearance. So, along with its vibrant golden leaves, you can enjoy the occasional blooms of this lovely plant. 

When and How to Water Your Creeping Inch Plant

Like other Callisia repens varieties, the creeping inch plant does not need too much water. The best way of Callisia repens  gold is to water it adequately when the soil is completely dry. It's important to strike the right balance to keep this beautiful creeping inch plant happy and healthy. 

As a general rule, it's best to keep the soil evenly moist but not overly saturated. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Gently press your finger into the soil to measure the moisture content. It's time to water if it seems dry. 

In the spring and summer, during the drowing season, your creeping inch plant Callisia repens gold prefers consistent moisture. During warmer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler months, you can reduce the frequency.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Creeping Inch Plant 

If you are growing Callisia repens indoors, placing it near a window in partial shade or in a well-lit room would be ideal. An essential aspect of creeping inch plant care is that it should be placed in a place where it is exposed to bright but indirect or filtered sunlight. It thrives in a spot with moderate to high light levels, but direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves. 

When grown outdoors, the creeping inch plant can handle partial shade to full sun, but it prefers bright, indirect light or dappled sunlight.

Find a spot that receives 4-6 hours of morning or late afternoon sun, while providing some shade during the hottest part of the day. This will help prevent the leaves from burning or drying out.

If you notice that your creeping inch Callisia repens leaves start to lose their vibrant golden color or become pale, it may be an indication that it needs more light. On the other hand, if the leaves start to turn brown or develop sunburn spots, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Pro Tip

Callisia repens is suited for outdoor cultivation only in specific regions like southern Florida and Hawaii, where the warm, tropical climate matches its needs. In all other regions, it thrives best as a charming indoor houseplant.

Additionally, make sure to rotate your Callisia repens occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light source. These creeping inch plant care tips will help to maintain its compact and trailing form. Providing this Callisia repens gold with the right amount of light will contribute to its overall health and enhance the beauty of its golden foliage. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

To keep your creeping inch plant Callisia repens Gold happy, you'll want to provide it with well-draining soil and the right kind of fertilizer. It is best to use a succulent potting mix for the Callisia repens plant. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your creeping inch plant, you can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble natural NPK fertilizer. Feed your Callisia repens once a year during the growing season in the spring. During the dormant season (fall and winter), you can reduce or even stop fertilizing, as the plant's growth slows down. Always remember to water your inch plant before applying fertilizer to avoid any potential root burn. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

The creeping inch plant is typically grown indoors as a houseplant. Native to tropical regions of North and south America, it is not frost-hardy and prefers temperatures between 65-75°F. This Callisia repens thrives in average room temperatures and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but it's best to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.

For outdoor cultivation, your Callisia repens gold, is generally hardy in USDA zones 10-11, only in specific regions like southern Florida and Hawaii, where the warm, tropical climate matches its needs.

If you live in a colder climate, it's recommended to keep your creeping inch plant indoors in a hanging pot or provide it with protection during colder months. 

In terms of humidity, the gold creeping inch plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of water near your turtle vine plant or by using a humidifier. Misting the leaves with water can also help create a more humid environment. 

Remember to monitor the temperature and humidity levels to ensure the optimal conditions for your gold creeping inch plant's growth and well-being.

According to the ASPCA, the creeping inch plant is mildly toxic to cats, dogs, and horses if ingested in a large amount. It contains compounds that may cause skin irritation or gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea, in pets. For pet owners, keeping the plant in elevated spots or using hanging baskets can help ensure both your plant and furry friends remain safe.

How to Propagate Your Creeping Inch Plant

To propagate a creeping inch plant, start by selecting a healthy stem with at least a few nodes. Using clean scissors or pruning shears, cut a stem just below a node, as this is where roots will form. Remove the lower leaves to expose the nodes and either place the stem directly in water or plant it in moist, well-draining soil. If propagating in water, ensure the nodes are submerged, and roots should appear within a week or two. For soil propagation, keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, and place the cutting in bright, indirect light. Once roots are established, the new plant can be potted or planted in its desired location. This easy process makes the creeping inch plant perfect for beginners or those looking to expand their indoor or outdoor plant collection.

Buena calidad
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Es de pasta dura. El material de las hojas se siente de buena calidad. El tamaño de las letras es adecuado. Mi perro lo mordió un poco por eso en la foto sale así. En cuanto al libro, es bastante biográfico, y deja las enseñanzas del autor.

Can't hurt him
Format: Paperback
I've had many conversations with different people about Goggins, and I would have to say it's been a near 50|50 split of people supporting him and people having issues with him. Here I will address the motivational aspect of the book: The transformation Goggins went through from his lowest of low points to his highs are extremely admirable. He had a rough start and numerous setbacks that would've been a decent reason to keep his way of life as it was, but he felt stagnant. So he decided to change it but going after one of the hardest things you can do- prepping for Seal training. Here I will address the methodology of his motivation: In short, to become a Seal isn't a mere accident. It is 100% intentful. 100% a team required feat and effort. In some instances of the book, Goggins mentions he struggled with some of his peers, maybe even head-butting ideology where he may have gone solo on some things or didn't quite agree with how a team was being run. He has his own self reflections on this various incidents. However, what I would like to note is that the self-reflection exists (*I listened to the audiobook as well which offered other insight not part of the book). I believe if you take what is necessary from the book: the motivation, the coaching, the curiosity or whatever you can get get out of the book that is a positive influence then that's great! There are plenty of people who do not like Goggins and because of that bias, they don't give credit to the content of his book. I would say, be an educated reader/consumer. There is always something to be learned/gained from other people's lives and experiences.

Thirty years on this earth… and this is the first book I’ve truly read from start to finish.
Format: Hardcover
Reading Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins didn’t just motivate me it shifted something inside me. It reminded me that struggle is universal, but mindset is the difference. He doesn’t stop when things get hard; he stops only when the mission is complete and then he looks for the next challenge. This book teaches you that obstacles aren’t there to break you, they’re there to build you. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck, this is the kind of book that wakes something up inside you. Stay hard. 💪🏾
