Basket (Callisia fragrans) Plant

Gangagardens

Callisia fragrans is a reasonably common cultivated, ornamental, perennial herb. It can be grown as a pot or basket plant or as ground cover in tropical or subtropical climates. In these warm climates, parts of the plant may break off or be spread by gardeners and start to grow. Callisia does very well as a houseplant because it does not require much light to grow. However, the more light it gets, the more purple the foliage will be. Too much light, though, can scorch it.
