Goldfish Plant - Nematanthus. How to care and look after advice and information
|
Nematanthus tropicana
Goldfish Plant - Nematanthus gregarious - Nematanthus
radicans
The Plant: The Goldfish Plant has shiny dark green leaves borne
on tough stems, and striking orange elongated flowers which
appear close to the stems.
Its needs: A loose open-draining potting mix is essential, as are
warmth, humidity and strong light to promote good flower
production for the Goldfish Plant
Care: The Nematanthus should be watered freely in spring, but
only given a monthly liquid feed. Reduce watering at end of
summer and through the autumn and winter. The plant tips can be
pinched back in spring to maintain a compact bushy plant. The
Goldfish Plant rarely suffers from pest attack
Good for: Nematanthus is ideal for growing in hanging containers
or pots. An interesting feature plant when in flower. Easy to
maintain.
