Nematanthus nervosus, commonly known as the Goldfish Plant, is a tropical epiphyte native to Brazil. Its glossy green foliage and distinctive orange, pouch-shaped blooms bring lively color to a bright indoor space. The flowers’ rounded shape resembles tiny goldfish, giving this plant its memorable common name.
Give it bright, indirect light to encourage flowering, and water when the surface of the potting mix begins to dry. Avoid leaving it in standing water. With its naturally arching growth, the Goldfish Plant is well suited to a hanging planter or a shelf where its foliage can gently spill over the edge.
