Nematanthus species are popular houseplants, especially in hanging baskets, where their trailing stems showcase clusters of vibrant orange, red, or yellow blooms that attract attention year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"855\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"853\"\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"939\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"939\"\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eRequires well-draining, lightweight soil mix, such as African violet potting mix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1025\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eKeep soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging; reduce watering in cooler months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003eThrives in high humidity; mist regularly or use humidity trays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1259\"\u003eFertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted fertilizer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003eInteresting Tidbits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1827\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003eThe \"Goldfish Plant\" nickname comes from the flower’s distinctive shape and bright colours resembling a swimming goldfish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003eNematanthus plants are excellent for hanging baskets, allowing their trailing stems to drape elegantly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eThey are relatively easy to propagate from stem cuttings, making them popular among indoor gardeners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003eTheir epiphytic nature means they naturally grow on other plants in the wild, not in soil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1827\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1827\"\u003eFlowers can bloom intermittently throughout the year under ideal conditions, providing continual colour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"goldfish-6-hb","title":"Goldfish Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNematanthus gregarius aka Goldfish Plant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe goldfish plant (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNematanthus gregarious\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eearned its name because of the masses of red-orange flowers that appear in the spring and summer and look a bit like leaping goldfish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stems 2 to 3 in. long, branches up to 3 ft. long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright light but not direct light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eDuring the summer, water generously and keep the soil continuously moist.
