Turtle Vine (Callisia repens) is a low-growing, trailing plant that belongs to the Commelinaceae family, which also includes popular houseplants such as spiderwort and wandering jew. It is also known as Inch Plant or Creeping Inch Plant.

Turtle Vine is native to Central and South America, but is now widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world. It is prized for its attractive, variegated foliage, which is usually green with stripes or spots of white, silver, or pink. The leaves are small and oval-shaped, and grow in pairs along the stems.

Turtle Vine plants prefer bright, indirect light and well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist. They are not particularly drought-tolerant and should be watered regularly to prevent the soil from drying out completely. They can be grown in hanging baskets, pots, or as a ground cover in outdoor gardens.

In addition to their ornamental value, Turtle Vine plants are also used in traditional medicine in some parts of the world. The plant contains compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins, which have been shown to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. Some traditional uses include treating skin conditions, digestive issues, and respiratory problems.

Turtle Vine is a relatively easy plant to care for and is a great choice for beginner gardeners or indoor plant enthusiasts. Its small size and trailing habit make it ideal for adding a touch of greenery to small spaces or for filling in empty spots in larger plant displays.
