Hypocyrta tropicana

5 from 1 customers

Hypocyrta tropicana, commonly known as the Goldfish Plant, is a popular indoor plant owing to its foliage, flowers, and great form. The dark green, glossy leaves are held on stems that will grow with a trailing nature. These are adorned with masses of small, orange-yellow flowers that look like the mouth of a goldfish. These are generally produced during late spring and summer. It typically grows to 20 cm tall and 40 cm wide, preferring a warm spot without cold drafts and indirect light. The Goldfish plant is often grown in a hanging basket, used in offices or homes, where it can trail from a shelf or stand. This is a beautiful plant that is easy to grow and very rewarding.

Why Choose a Goldfish Plant (Hypocyrta tropicana)?

The goldfish plant is treasured for its arching stems, glossy leaves, and whimsical flowers that emerge throughout the warmer months. It’s perfect for trailing from hanging baskets, shelves, or in a mixed indoor garden display. Unlike some tropicals, the goldfish plant thrives in the warm indoor conditions typical of New Zealand homes, rewarding you with bountiful blooms with minimal fuss.

Caring for Your Goldfish Plant

Goldfish plants thrive in bright, indirect light—think near an east or north-facing window. They prefer well-draining soil and like their roots to dry out slightly between waterings. Regular misting and avoiding cold drafts will keep their foliage lush and healthy. To boost flowering, feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. With proper care, the goldfish plant can bloom repeatedly, adding months of cheerful colour to your home.

Styling and Displaying Your Goldfish Plant

Hypocyrta tropicana is extremely versatile for home décor. Their cascading habit looks gorgeous in hanging planters or trailing gracefully from a high shelf. Pair your goldfish plant alongside other indoor favourites like Spathiphyllum 'Domino' (Peace Lily) for lush contrast, or create a vibrant collection with the glossy, variegated foliage of Epipremnum Golden Queen. For those who love unique blooms, display your goldfish plant beside Chrysanthemum 'Double White' for an indoor garden that always surprises.

Perfect Companions and Collectibles

If you’re a true enthusiast, try growing a goldfish plant with characterful oddities like Senecio peregrinus, known for its “dolphin”-shaped leaves. Or add texture to your ensemble with the dramatic, velvety foliage of Calathea rufibarba (Velvet-Leaf Calathea). These plants all thrive in similar conditions, so you can craft a visually stunning and low-maintenance collection.
