*Neomortonia rosea* is a creeping and shingling gesneriad with small, rounded green leaves that can press closely against surfaces in its juvenile form before trailing outward as it matures. Native to humid tropical forests of Central and South America, it naturally climbs or spreads along wood and stone, forming a dense layer of foliage. When conditions are right, it produces delicate rose-pink tubular flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage. Best suited for terrariums, grow cabinets, or mounted culture where its shingling habit can be encouraged.
