Tips For Growing Goldfish Plant: The Manual Guide For Growing, Caring, Propagating And Pruning

By: Coman, Pen

The goldfish plant, also known as Nematanthus gregarious, got its common name from the large numbers of bright orange-red blooms that bloom during the spring and summer months. These flowers resemble goldfish that are jumping. It is a beautiful sight to behold if you have ever witnessed a plant that has reached its full maturity and is blooming while it is contained within a hanging basket. When properly maintained for, they produce a profusion of blooms and add splashes of color. These are wonderful plants to use indoors as cascade plants for a bright window sill, or they can be grown in baskets. They have a lifespan of almost 10 years and may be kept alive for that long if they are repotted when necessary (but not too frequently!) and kept away from air that is either too dry or too cold. They are considered to be long-lived plants. Since the original plant has been hybridized to a great extent, you should choose a plant depending on the vigor of the plant and the color of its flowers. The flowering period for a goldfish plant can last anywhere from six to ten weeks. If you are planting from seed, you should wait until the danger of frost has passed.
