Calasia Repens - Turtle Patrol: Easy-Growing Creeping Inchplant Succulent

Looking for a plant that’s as tenacious as your Netflix binge-watching habits? Say hello to Turtle Patrol, officially known as Calasia Repens! This feisty creeper hails from Central and South America and is ready to take over your plant kingdom, one inch at a time.

A monthly feed of succulent fertilizer during its growing season (spring and summer) will keep it cheerful and creeping.
