🌼 Nematanthus (Goldfish Plant) – Care Tips

Nematanthus, commonly known as the Goldfish Plant, is a delightful trailing houseplant named for its bright orange, goldfish-shaped flowers. With glossy green leaves and charming blooms, it’s perfect for hanging baskets or shelves.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Loves bright, filtered light (east or west-facing window is ideal)

• Avoid direct afternoon sun – it may scorch the leaves

• Too little light = no blooms

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry

• Use room-temperature water

• Reduce watering in winter

• Avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot

🌱 Soil

• Use a light, well-draining mix:

• Ideal mix: Peat + perlite + orchid bark

• Ensure your pot has good drainage holes

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers a warm, stable environment

• Protect from cold drafts and temps below 15°C (59°F)

• Enjoys moderate to high humidity – mist occasionally or use a tray/humidifier

🌸 Flowering

• Produces orange to red blooms shaped like little fish

• Blooms most in spring through summer with proper care

• Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer in growing season

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pinch back stems to promote fullness and bushier growth

• Remove faded blooms and dead leaves regularly

• Trailing vines can grow over 2 feet long – perfect for hanging pots

🐾 Pet Safety

• Generally non-toxic to pets – still, discourage chewing to protect your plant

Pro Tip: To trigger blooming, give your plant bright indirect light and a few weeks of slightly cooler night temps (~15°C) during late winter.

Let Nematanthus bring a joyful splash of color and character to your indoor garden with its playful blooms and trailing elegance.
