Pet Safe

The Black Goldfish Plant (Nematanthus nervosus) is an easy-care houseplant that blooms. Oval-shaped waxy leaves grow from central, upright stems. The foliage is dark green, and some leaves have a burgundy tint. The Black Goldfish Plant features flowers that resemble goldfish, inspiring the name. This easy-care houseplant has a very full and lush appearance.

Best Locations For Growing Black Goldfish Plant 

Feature the Black Goldfish Plant in a brightly lit area with average humidity. This stunner can easily live in a living room, home office, or just about anywhere. Keep this plant away from areas prone to temperature fluctuations, like near windows, exterior doors, and heating and cooling vents.

Black Goldfish Plant Sunlight Requirements

Bright indirect sunlight is best for the Black Goldfish Plant. Lots of light helps this plant set new growth, but direct light can be too much and may damage the leaves. This plant is more likely to bloom when grown in increased levels of sunlight.

Black Goldfish Plant Care

The Black Goldfish Plant is generally low maintenance. Rinse the plant in room temperature water or wipe the leaves with a damp cloth monthly to remove dust buildup. Clean foliage will look good and also help the plant conduct photosynthesis.

Watering Black Goldfish Plant

This plant has medium water needs, so let the top couple of inches of soil dry out before watering. When it is time to give the Black Goldfish Plant a drink, drench the soil to ensure the entire root system is wet. Average humidity is good and will keep the foliage full and vibrant.

Feeding Black Goldfish Plant 

Feed the Black Goldfish Plant every two weeks during the growing season. Use a balanced fertilizer that dissolves in water and can be applied during routine watering. This plant does not need to be fed when it is not actively growing.
