Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Nematanthus gregarius is a Gesneriad, a family of mostly tropical forest plants that grow as small, fine-rooted epiphytes or trailers with thick, waxy leaves that store some moisture. It wants bright indirect light and a mix that drains freely rather than staying soggy. Let the top inch of mix dry before watering, roughly every 7 to 12 days, since its fine roots resent sitting wet.
