  • Height: Typically 18–24 inches

  • Foliage: Long, pointy leaves with green tones and splotches of red, yellow, or orange

 

☀️ Light & Temperature

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; harsh direct sun can scorch leaves

  • Temperature: Thrives in 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C)

  • Humidity: Needs high humidity (50%+) for vibrant foliage

 

🌱 Soil & Planting

  • Soil Type: Well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.6)

  • Spacing: 12–18 inches apart for airflow; 4 inches apart for a carpet effect

  • Potting Mix: Peat moss and perlite blend is ideal

 

💧 Watering & Fertilizing

  • Watering: Every 1–2 weeks or when top inch of soil is dry; avoid waterlogging

  • Fertilizer: Balanced water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., NPK 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks in growing season

 

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

  • Pruning: Early spring to encourage bushier growth; remove dead or leggy parts

  • Propagation: Easy via 1–2 inch stem cuttings; roots quickly in soil or water

 

🌸 Bloom & Seasonal Interest

  • Flowers: Small, white, and inconspicuous

  • Bloom Time: Fall to early winter, adding off-season garden interest

 

Alternanthera Green Calico Plant is a large genus of 200 species of bushy annuals and perennials that are grown mainly for their attractive colorful leaves, which are opposite, often toothed, and variable in size. Flowers are insignificant. Alternanthera are native to tropical and subtropical open forests in Central and South America.

 

Noteworthy Characteristics: Colorful foliage. Good for bedding, hanging baskets, edging, formal knot gardens, or as a ground cover. If grown from seed, foliage color will vary.

Care: In the garden, plant out after the last frost in moist but well-drained soil. Full sun produces the best leaf color, but plants also grow well in partial shade. Prune to maintain small size. In the greenhouse, Alternanthera Green Calico Plant grows in full light and water freely during the growing season. Water sparingly and keep in a well-ventilated spot in winter.

Love this stuff!
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Literally the only micellar water that does not break me out. I have cystic acne prone skin, and my skin loves this stuff! Very gentle on the eyes and skin as a whole, while getting the makeup and dirt off well!

Bioderma Makeup remover
Style: 16.7 fl oz, Style: 16.7 fl oz
I like this product — the gentle formula cleanses, hydrates, and protects my face well. I usually use it in the morning before putting on makeup rather than at night. I gave it 4 stars because the top/cap comes off easily. Other than that that works well for my skin

This WORKS!!! My skin feels nice and clean after using this brand of micellar water! It is pro level!!! Way better than those make up remover wipes (which I had used for years) until I found this gem! No rinsing needed!

Gentle makeup remover that works well
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this micellar water and really appreciate that it comes in a travel size. It’s gentle on the skin and works well for removing makeup without irritation. It’s easy to use and convenient for trips or keeping in a bag. Overall, it’s a great cleanser that I would definitely use again.

I double cleanse. I find that mineral oil based makeup removers are hard to wash off. Oil based ones are nourishing and easier to remove but are all very dissimilar. I find formulations with active ingredient CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES high on the list are the best for my skin type. Combination/Oily(summer). RetinA/Retinoid , glycolic, Vitamin c user. These formulations emulsify everything. No scrubbing or excessive rubbing. No funny skin irritants or slimy film left on skin. MY Favorites: La Roche-Posay Micellar Cleansing Water for Sensitive Skin [all skins even those using actives]#1 My Favorite All year. Black Opal Even True Skin Perfecting Cream Cleanser [Good for dry skin or winter time]Discontinued Clarins Cleansing Milk with Gentian (Combination or Oily Skin)[A opaque 'milk' texture for Truly oily skin not drying but not hydrating]#2 Summers mostly. Pricey but worth it. Emulsifies everything and rinses well. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser | Makeup Remover and Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin | Now Solutions Soothing rose facial cleansing oil[ Good for all skin types consistency is 'thin'ish'] #3 I like the texture its an oil but doesn't feel 'congested' greasy to me. Sheamoisture Even Radiant raw honey 3n1 cleansing balm[Room temperature butter texture for dry and or dehydrated skin. Possibly good for skin needing nourishment(shea and honey). IMO this is a 'wipe off cleanser. Say with a 'wonder cloth' or some such. Not a daily use but has its place for sure. May work as a hydrating face mask. Think Estee Lauder Triple cream(discontinued). Nice size and affordable. Cerave Makeup removing cleanser Balm[ A 'waxy' looking balm that seems whipped. All skin types]. Does what it says. IMO a wipe off cleanser even thought directions say rinse. I rinse then wipe then cleanse. Sometimes i just go directly to cleansing. Note no CAPRYLIC/CAPRICTRICERIDE or its derivatives in the ingredient list. This one took time for me to remove but its not greasy. Has other solvents, emollients and emulsifiers. Definitely a gentle skin conditioner. A good product.
