BLACK GOLDFISH PLANT 6in HANGING

Looking for a houseplant that offers a splash of vibrant color and a truly unique shape? The 'Black Gold' Goldfish Plant (Nematanthus gregarius 'Black Gold') is your answer! This delightful plant earns its name from its charming, pouch-like flowers that, true to form, resemble tiny, leaping goldfish in shades of bright orange or orange-yellow. These cheerful blooms create a stunning contrast against its glossy, dark green, almost black-tinged foliage.

The 'Black Gold' Goldfish Plant is a fantastic choice for hanging baskets, as its stems have a lovely trailing habit, cascading gracefully over the sides of the pot. It typically reaches a height of 6-12 inches but can trail over 3 feet in length, making it perfect for adding vertical interest to your indoor decor.

For optimal blooming and healthy growth, provide your 'Black Gold' Goldfish Plant with plenty of bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is often ideal, offering gentle morning sun without the harshness of midday rays. If you only have south or west-facing windows, filter the light with a sheer curtain to prevent leaf scorch. Consistent bright light is key to encouraging those adorable "goldfish" flowers!

When it's time to repot, use a well-draining, airy potting mix. We recommend Watters Potting Soil, perhaps with some added perlite for extra drainage, to ensure the roots don't sit in soggy conditions. This plant prefers its soil to dry out slightly between waterings, so check the top inch or two of soil before giving it a drink.

To keep those blooms coming and foliage lush, fertilize regularly during the spring and summer growing season. A diluted liquid fertilizer like Urban Gardener's Super Growth Elixir or Fertilome's All Purpose Houseplant Food, applied every two weeks at half strength, will provide the nutrients your plant needs.

One of the best features of the 'Black Gold' Goldfish Plant is that it is pet-safe and non-toxic to cats and dogs, so you can enjoy its beauty without worrying about your furry friends.
