Goldfish Plant - Live Plant

Botanical Name: Nematanthus gregarius
Common Names: Goldfish Plant, Flying Goldfish Plant

Description:
The Goldfish Plant is a fun and eye-catching trailing houseplant known for its glossy green leaves and bright orange blooms that resemble tiny swimming goldfish. Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, this plant is perfect for hanging baskets or shelves where its cascading vines can shine. When happy, the Goldfish Plant rewards plant parents with waves of blooms that add a bold pop of color to any indoor jungle.

FEATURES

🌿 Beginner Friendly: Moderate — great for plant parents ready to level up from basic pothos care.

☀️ Lighting: Prefers an indirect view of the sky for the best flowering and healthy growth. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun.

💧 Watering: Allow the soil to dry about 50% before watering. Water thoroughly and avoid letting the plant sit in soggy soil.

🐾 Pet Safety: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

🌡️ Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65–80°F and appreciates stable indoor conditions.

🪴 Growth Habit: Trailing and cascading growth makes it perfect for hanging planters, shelves, or plant stands.

✨ Fleurish Tip:
If your Goldfish Plant stops blooming, check your lighting first. More bright indirect light usually means more “little goldfish” swimming through the vines. And remember… blooms are earned, not demanded. Plants are dramatic like that sometimes. 💚
