Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Primulina tabacum is a member of the Gesneriaceae, the family of gesneriads that grow as small herbaceous plants, often clinging to shaded, humid rock faces and forest understories. Give it bright indirect light out of direct sun, and let the top inch of mix approach dry before watering again, roughly every 7 to 12 days; its soft foliage and crown resent sitting wet. Native range and precise habit are unverified here, so err toward slightly drier and increase humidity only if the leaves show they want it.
