Creeping Inchplant is a small creeping succulent plant belonging to the Commelinaceae family and native to the tropical climate of South and Central America. The plant is unpretentious in care and perfectly complements the decorative elements of the garden and the house, as it is non-toxic and looks good. It is worth noting that more than 20 species of this plant differ little from each other, but this does not prevent them from being popular among collectors who want to collect them all.
