Nematanthus Black Goldfish Plant

The 'Black' Goldfish Plant (Nematanthus) brings a captivating, moody elegance to your indoor garden with its incredibly dark, glossy leaves that perfectly set the stage for its bright, leaping orange blooms. You will love hanging this tropical vine in your living room because it acts as a living piece of art, cascading gracefully over the edge of a basket or tall shelf to a manageable length of one to two feet. It is the perfect way to add both deep, contrasting color and whimsical flowers to your home without taking up floor space. Best of all, you can enjoy this striking trailing beauty with complete peace of mind, knowing it is entirely non-toxic and pet-safe for your curious cats and dogs.

To coax out those famous goldfish-shaped flowers and keep the foliage looking rich and dark, place your plant in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, such as a few feet away from a warm east-facing window. Because this plant grows naturally as an epiphyte clinging to trees in the wild, its slightly succulent leaves store water, meaning its roots demand oxygen just as much as they need moisture. Wait until the top two to three inches of your potting soil feel completely dry to the touch before giving it a deep, thorough watering, and always ensure your container drains freely. By letting the soil breathe between waterings and avoiding standing water, you will prevent root rot and cultivate a robust, flowering companion that thrives beautifully in your home.
