Nematanthus Black Goldfish Plant

• Botanical Name: Nematanthus Nervosus

• Common Name(s): Nematanthus Black Goldfish

• Description: Nematanthus Black Goldfish House Plants have hundreds of small, thick, shiny, dark green leaves and colorful flowers that resemble tiny goldfish. The flowers on a Goldfish Plant may be red, orange, or yellow. I find Goldfish plants are easy to care for, drought-resistant, and with proper care bloom on and off all year.

Care:

• Light: Nematanthus plants can be grown in full sun or partial shade when planted or summered outside. When grown inside as a houseplant, the Nematanthus plant prefers full sun from south or west-facing windows.
• Pet Friendly: Yes
• Water: During periods of active growth, typically from spring until fall, the Nematanthus plant prefers evenly moist soil. However, during the winter, when the plant is dormant, it requires little water to survive. Watering once or twice a month may be all your plant needs during the winter months, but always use your plants health as a guide; wilted or shriveled leaves indicate your plant needs more water.
• Humidity: Medium
• Temperature: In cooler climates, the plant should be moved inside when temperatures drop below 50° F at night to allow the plant to adjust to indoor temperatures. It can be overwintered as a houseplant and returned to the outside when weather warms in the spring.
• Difficult Level: Easy
