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.

Favorite kitchen gadget!
Color: Black
I bought this for mixing powdered mixes into water, and boy do I love it. I honestly use it way more than anticipated and it works so well. I use it for everything from whisking formula to the intended purpose of frothing milk. Blends quickly and clean is easy, just put a couple of drops soap into water and turn on them rinse! Best money I've spent recently on something for the kitchen, don't even hesitate, just buy it!

Spiral portion of blender did not hold up
Color: Black
It was wonderful for 10 weeks. We used it almost daily and sometimes twice a day. It frothed quickly. It proved a satisfying blender until approx 10 weeks of use. The wire spiral on the end started to slowly wind off. It worked OK but wobbled and frothed weakly at that point. For short term use, for very infrequent use, it will be fine. Looks acceptable, easy to use. Changed the batteries one time. For the price, I am not unhappy. Have now replaced it with a more expensive one on Amazon. Thank you Amazon for giving your shoppers the opportunity to leave our feedback. It is one of your most appreciated features.

Great little frother
Color: Black
This is a great little frother. It is powerful and really frothes up what ever you are trying to stir, sometimes too much for what I want it to do. Do not get water or liquid into the motor area or the item will stop working. Recommend this item.

Tiny, but mighty
Color: Black
I ordered this in July, 2023, and it works very well, great speed. I use it every single morning, to mix my mushroom coffee, cinnamon, and collagen protein. If you're looking for a really good frother, this probably isn't going to meet that demand. It does give some froth, but nothing crazy. I have read reviews that mention "no longer worked after replacing batteries", but mine is still great even after replacing them, which I didn't have to do until after 3 months of usage. I don't know if the color matters in relation to that, but I bought the red one. I would definitely recommend this product.
