Why is it called Gold Fish Plant? This is what the flower looks like

Nematanthus wettsteinii x fritschii Bijou - Goldfish Plant

🐟Why is it called Gold Fish Plant? This is what the flower looks like...
  • 🐑 Q: I saw this beautiful plant called Gold Fish, with extremely ornamental leaves with bright mauve underneath, really stunning! But what do the flowers look like? What is it about Gold Fish?
  • 🐑 A: Nematanthus wettsteinii x fritschii Bijou - is called Goldfish Plant because its bright orange, tubular flowers look just like tiny, plump goldfish swimming through the foliage!
  • 🐑 The blooms have a rounded, slightly curved shape, with a glossy texture that mimics the shimmer of fish scales. As they dangle gracefully from the stems, they create the illusion of a school of little fish darting among the lush, trailing green leaves.
  • 🐑 Beyond its fun name, this plant is easy to grow, thrives in bright, indirect light, and blooms year-round with proper care. A playful, eye-catching beauty for hanging baskets and indoor gardens!

How to grow Bird of Paradise

Strelitzia reginae - Bird of Paradise

🦩 How to grow Bird of Paradise
  • ⭐️ Strelitzia reginae - Bird of Paradise (more photos in earlier post) - is incredibly easy to grow, especially in warm climates!
  • ⭐️ This tough, low-maintenance tropical thrives in full sun to partial shade, needs well-draining soil, and can handle drought once established.
  • ⭐️ It's resilient, long-lived, and nearly indestructible - perfect for beginners!
  • ⭐️ To keep it happy, just give it regular watering during growth and occasional fertilizer for best blooms.
  • ⭐️ It loves warm temperatures (zones 9-11), but in cooler areas, grow it in a pot and bring it inside during winter.
  • ⭐️ With minimal care, you'll get stunning, bird-like orange and blue flowers that bloom year after year. A showstopper, a survivor, and a statement plant all in one!
