Summary

A bold tropical accent that spills over containers with vibrant, textured color.

Acalypha pendula is prized for its soft, chenille-like red flower spikes that trail gracefully from hanging baskets and patio pots. The vivid blooms create striking contrast against glossy green foliage, delivering continuous color throughout the warm season.

Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it especially effective in containers, window boxes, and raised planters. In frost-free regions, it can also serve as a seasonal groundcover, where its trailing stems create a lush carpet of foliage and blooms.

Care

Acalypha pendula Care

Plant in full sun for the heaviest flowering, though partial shade is tolerated. In hotter climates, light afternoon shade can help reduce stress.

Grow in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Consistent moisture supports continuous blooming, but avoid prolonged soggy conditions.

Water regularly, especially during hot weather and when grown in containers.

Apply a slow release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage steady flowering.

Light trimming helps maintain a compact, full appearance and encourages fresh growth.

Container Growing Notes

This plant performs exceptionally well in hanging baskets and patio containers. Containers dry out more quickly than garden beds, so monitor soil moisture closely and water as needed.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure containers have adequate drainage holes.

Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.

Great product - Add foam product for complete solution
Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM)
Used in two cars with speaker upgrades. Easy to install but get the roller for assured adhesion.removes "tinnyness" from large metal resonators. Use with foam absorptive material for a complete system.

Great Product for noise reduction in Auto Use.
Model: 36 SqFt(3.4 SqM)
I use this on many builds to dampen the metal echo in cars, vans, and trucks. Just one sheet in the center of a body panel is a huge difference maker. You can also cover the entire surface and get added insulation value. The noise is greatly depleted and it's easy to install with a roller tool. Looks Great when done. Good Product I will use again!

so uncomfortable
Size: 9, Color: Champagne
These shoes are cute but UNCOMFORTABLE. The toe thong makes them impossible to wear. I wore them for 5 minutes just trying them on and my feet hurt as I’m writing this. Couldn’t recommend less. Plus, the holes that the strap fits through aren’t lined up properly and are difficult to poke through. Felt like I got the made in china version.
