Goldfish Plant, Nematanthus wettsteinii - Hanging Basket
The goldfish plant earned its name because of the masses of red-orange flowers that appear in the spring and summer and look a bit like leaping goldfish.
They do best in room temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They need mild to moderate humidity and can be misted daily with room temperature water. Cold water will damage the foliage. In particularly dry environments, a humidifier near the plant is helpful.
This houseplant requires plenty of bright indirect sunlight for at least 9+ hours a day if you want them to promote flowers!
Watering your Goldfish plant correctly is crucial to the plant's health. Ensure you water the plant with lukewarm rainwater or filtered water. The plant needs to be watered once a week in spring and summer, then once every two or three weeks in fall and winter. Never let the soil dry out completely
