Mostly these were considered as an ornamental plant only and often found growing without care by the roadside.<br />I don't find many people cultivate this particular plant very much incomparison to other types of Callisias.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-72186757021283899372020-11-07T02:29:45.473+08:002020-11-07T02:29:45.473+08:00Hi James!

This plant is very popular and loved in Russia for its medicinal qualities. Many people grow it for the purpose of making a medicinal solution which is used to treat different conditions including skin diseases. I tried it myself and saw good results in healing bruises, for example. <br />Callisia f. is widely used in Eastern Europe, China and Vietnam.<br />Thanks again! I need to propagate my plant. Every time my sister from Russia visits me, she makes Callisia f. solution for me. Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.com
