Goldfish Plant (Nematanthus gregarius)

Goldfish Plant is a trailing houseplant that adds bright, playful color with little bursts of orange-red flowers along cascading stems. It is an easy way to soften shelf edges and hanging baskets while keeping a neat, glossy green backdrop year-round. In the right light it blooms generously and repeatedly, bringing a finished, lively look to indoor plant displays. Give it bright, filtered light and an airy mix, and it will settle into a full, draping shape that is easy to maintain.

Distinctive Features

This tropical, evergreen perennial has arching, trailing stems lined with small, glossy, oval leaves and distinctive pouch-like tubular blooms that resemble tiny goldfish. Flowers are most common from spring through summer, with repeat blooming possible indoors when light and warmth stay consistent. The plant naturally cascades and can also be trained lightly along a small support for a fuller presentation. Its epiphytic tendencies mean it prefers excellent drainage and airflow around the roots rather than heavy, wet soil.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal, and gentle morning sun is fine while harsh midday sun can scorch foliage.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining, slightly acidic, airy mix such as potting soil blended with perlite and fine bark.
  • Water: Water when the top 1 inch of mix feels dry, keeping it lightly moist but never soggy.
  • USDA Zones: USDA Zones 10 to 11 outdoors, and elsewhere grown as a houseplant.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally around 65 F to 75 F, and avoid cold drafts.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity supports better blooming and cleaner growth, especially in dry indoor seasons.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Hang it at eye level in a bright room so the cascading stems and goldfish-like blooms become the centerpiece.
  • Hanging Baskets: Use baskets to showcase the natural trailing habit and create a full, draping curtain of foliage.
  • Shelves and Ledges: Let it spill over edges to soften hard lines and add color without taking up floor space.
  • Bright Bathrooms: Place in a well-lit, humid room to support steady growth and more consistent flowering.
  • Indoor Plant Groupings: Pair with upright foliage plants to add a draping layer and a warm color accent.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Trim after flowering to encourage branching and keep the plant dense and evenly shaped.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer to support blooms.
  • Repotting: Repot when crowded and refresh the mix to maintain airflow and drainage around the roots.
  • Watering Rhythm: Avoid extremes, because overwatering can cause root issues and drying out too long can reduce flowering.
  • Pest Watch: Inspect occasionally for aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs, especially when indoor air is dry.

Why Choose Goldfish Plant?

  • Bloom Color: Orange to orange-red flowers add bright, cheerful color against glossy green leaves.
  • Trailing Style: Cascading growth creates instant softness and dimension in indoor spaces.
  • Repeat Interest: With strong light, it can bloom in cycles rather than delivering a single short flush.
  • Space Efficient: Typically stays about 6 to 12 inches tall while trailing 24 to 36 inches over time.
  • Easy Styling: Looks finished in a simple pot and becomes even better when allowed to drape freely.

If you want a flowering houseplant that drapes beautifully and still feels easy to live with, Goldfish Plant is a strong pick. Keep it in bright, filtered light, water with restraint, and use an airy mix that drains quickly. With steady warmth and a bit of humidity, it will reward you with fuller growth and frequent bursts of color.

Cute, Well Done, Much Better Than I Presumed
Format: Paperback
I am not the target for this book. I'm a 48 year old man (wow, that hits harder when you type it...) But you know what? This is really good! It's a quick read, the whole story is VERY comic book superhero origin (which... I mean... it should be, that's what it is!) We have a young lady who is in the foster system, so needless to say she's always suspect of everyone and everything. When she finds a new set of foster parents, her curiosity about her foster mother gets the best of her. What she finds? Paints that give super powers! Wacky hijinks ensue.. until the military wants the paint back. Then it's less wacky. But it's adorable! The art is great for the material, the coloring is amazing, and the story is surprisingly cute. It's genuinely good! My 9-year old daughter, who IS the target audience, loved it too, and getting her to read anything is like pulling teeth, so if she likes it, it must be good!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
My daughter is 8 years old and loves reading graphic novels. I came across this one and wasn’t sure if it would be for her age but figured we would give it a try. So glad I ordered it! She read it so fast and it quickly became one of her favorites! I have the second book in my cart now.

which is my favorite place to shop for my classroom
Format: Paperback
I found this book in the #WeNeedDiverseBooks catalog on Scholastic Book Clubs, which is my favorite place to shop for my classroom. This book appealed to me because it was a graphic novel, and because of its premise in examining gender norms. Aster is a boy who lives in a magical society where the girls are trained to be witches, and the boys are supposed to grow to be shapeshifters. Aster's shapeshifting magic hasn't come to him, and he's really much more interested in witchery. At one part of the story, he points out to the other boys that it's silly that the girls are in lessons learning things while they are just running around playing fighting games. As a teacher, this made me smile! His family then runs into a mysterious danger, and no one will listen to him when he thinks he has a way to help make things right. Will he be able to use magic his way to help save his family? This book features a diverse cast, which is readily apparent to the reader thanks to the graphic novel format. Aster is a likable protagonist, as is his friend Charlie. I love the message that shatters the binary gender norms, especially because they are sometimes quite rigid in this age group. When I listed the books I had bought to my students this last year, some of them questioned me on how the title could be "The Witch Boy." Even in the world of fantasy, they had clear gender norms established in their head. I am all for books that can help loosen those norms and create more open minds. There is no reason for our children to feel like there are things that they cannot do or be because they have been assigned a certain gender. Because of its fantasy setting, I feel like it's a book that can be more readily accepted by readers and gatekeepers with more conservative views. This kind of representation is very important for our children who are coming of age and discovering themselves. Because it's a middle grade novel, the plot of THE WITCH BOY moved very quickly and I would have loved more details about the characters and the world. However, I think it'll be more than enough to keep kids engaged, and the story line is easy to follow. It's a quick read, which is a huge plus for some of our reluctant readers, and my students were definitely attracted to the full color, high-quality pages. This was the nicest looking book in the book order that it came in, and one of my students must have liked it enough to keep it, because it never made it back and I had to order a new one on Amazon.
