This is an update on my Callisia Repens (Basket plant). I purchased a 9 inch cutting in July that had several appendages growing from it. I separated it into three pieces. I potted the two largest cuttings in soil and propagated the smallest in water. They are all doing great. Callisia repens grows out vines/runners like a spider plant. It gets its name from the flowers that look like a small wicker basket of white flowers. It’s typically grown in a garden bed as a fast growing ground cover. This is my first time owning this plant and found it very easy to grow in pots. They put out several runners. The smallest piece kept in water also put out a runner under water! There were no sensitivity or pest issues. There are variegated types. It’s about $10 to $12 per large cutting on Etsy. I would recommend it as an affordable easy to grow plant that can adapt to a hanging basket or planter.
