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.

Not new condition; not gift-worthy; no turn off switch
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
FIRST Biggest downfall is that baby can’t just turn the gears and look at the book. I see no turnoff switch and the slightest touch to the gears sets off rather loud/obnoxious and random sounds - clanging & moos in additions to choochoos. SECOND, not in new condition. I should’ve known this when I took the package out of the mailbox and it started clanging (batteries in). Scratches on the front cover; worn cover edges; not gift-worthy

Amazing value for the price - perfect for my 2 year old book lover!
Format: Hardcover
This is an amazing value! My 2yo loves books and princesses, and I am trying to work on her independence (and find screen free activities). She was able to figure out the reader on her own, and can easily follow along. Of course, she would rather I do it with her but we're working on it. The pages are very thin paper, but that's ok considering the price for 8 books. Just might want to keep an eye on little hands. The art work doesn't look cheap, and despite the delicate pages the books are good quality. The reader is cool, sound quality is meh but again, under $20. I wish the box didn't have display holes so it would be a better storage case, but even the cardboard is pretty good so I can make it work. I will definitely be gifting this and buying more for my girl because you cannot beat the value of this!

Great Read-a-Long
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is a great idea for young children to listen and learn to read. It's easy for little ones to learn how to use it. Just match the picture on the selected book to the corresponding picture on the electronic reader and that's it. The electronic reader voice speaks clearly and understandable. The words are printed on the page, making it easy to follow along. This was the perfect book for my five-year-old princess granddaughter.

Great for 4 Year Old, Pages Need to Be Thicker
Format: Hardcover
I got these for my daughter for Christmas last year and she loves them. The reader is easy to operate - press the princess and then press the buttons that correspond to the page and it reads it to you. I like the variety of princesses included, such as Mulan, since she's not often featured. There was Merida and Tiana as well as the most popular ones like Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, etc. The books are hardcover, which is nice, but the pages are so thin and will bend and tear over time. The pages are colorful and the stories are fun to listen to. These remind me of the books on tape of my youth. Very happy with the purchase.
