Nematanthus ‘Goldfish’ is a cheerful, trailing tropical plant known for its vibrant, tubular flowers that resemble tiny goldfish, giving the plant its common name. The glossy, oval leaves provide a lush green backdrop to the bright orange blooms, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or as a cascading accent in mixed plant displays.
Nematanthus ‘Shady Ladies’ is a compact cultivar of the same genus, prized for its ability to tolerate lower light conditions compared to typical goldfish plants. Its small, rounded leaves and abundant tubular flowers bring a soft, charming appeal to shaded corners indoors.
Nematanthus ‘Marlene’ is another striking goldfish plant with larger, more vibrant flowers and robust trailing stems. Its lush foliage and prolific blooms make it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated planters where its pendulous stems can cascade freely.
All Nematanthus varieties thrive in bright, indirect light, enjoy evenly moist but well-draining soil, and prefer warm, humid conditions to maintain lush foliage and abundant blooms. They are excellent indoor plants for adding vibrant color and playful charm to any space.
