A popular groundcover in tropical climates and a houseplant in cooler regions, roselings spread by producing small plantlets that grow roots when they touch the soil. The species’ ability to creep along the ground is why they are sometimes referred to as "inch plants." The foliage on some varieties in the genus turns a darker purple in brighter, indirect light.
