Nematanthus gregarius - Goldfish Plant

Highlights

Nematanthus gregarius - Goldfish Plant (Denham): A bright green indoor trailing plant with plum colored lower leaf faces. These darker colors add a dramatic flair to a sunny window sill. The flowers are colored and shaped like goldfish, which contrast nicely with the darker leaves. Be sure to give this plant lots of light to encourage blooming, but protect it from harsh, afternoon sun so it doesn't get sunburned.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
