Hello Goldfish Lovers! This is my 2nd Post. So excited to share that my #blackgoldfish plant is blooming for the 2nd Time since October 2025 in it’s new environment (yes on my safe dog crate, lights off at 💤) — with 20 Watt Sansi Grow Lights AND 2 beautiful NEW Bstrip Hanging Grow 18W Full Spectrum, Boho Rattan Lantern Shades, 3800K Wall-Mounted Decorative Grow Lights in my Den.
(She gets a bit too much light and drops old leafs)
She was the size of my Hand ✋🏻 a year ago w/out flowers.
Still can’t get my Variegated Lipstick plant to bloom under the same lights again . 🧐
💚 🐡 🐡 🐡 🐡 … 💚 😍💡

@HerosJungle ooh!! I love them 😍😱 I only recently found out about goldfish plants, but now learning there’s multiple types?? 🤯 I need one!! 😂 What’s the difference between a black goldfish plant and a regular? Thank you for sharing the blooms 🥰
@DreamMachine
There are over 30 species and many cultivars of the Goldfish Plant, primarily divided into two main genera, Nematanthus and Columnea, both known for producing flowers that look like tiny goldfish. Nematanthus is generally more common, while Columnea offers distinct, often more trailing varieties.
Common Species and Cultivars
Nematanthus gregarius (previously N. radicans): Often simply called the Goldfish Plant; it has glossy leaves and orange flowers.
Columnea gloriosa: A popular trailing type with hairy leaves and red-orange blooms.
Nematanthus 'Tropicana': Known for its striped red and orange flowers.
Nematanthus 'Black Gold': Features dark green, red-tinged leaves with orange-yellow flowers.
Columnea 'Light Prince': A cultivar with variegated foliage.
Columnea x banksii: A popular hybrid known for its robust growth.
These plants, closely related to African Violets, are native to Brazil and other parts of Central/South America, thriving as houseplants with proper light.

I was given this as a birthday gift about 2 yrs. ago with a mini Ficus Triangalarus tree that made figs in the winter.
I wish I had the STRIPED kind.

@HerosJungle WOW. 🤯 I had no idea there were so many varieties. @princesspitstop first showed me what they were last year. I don’t have any yet but how wonderful to peruse through all the varieties 😍🥳
