Hypocyrthus flower or nematanthus. Care at home. Propagation by cuttings. Ampelous plants. Family Gesneriaceae.
The genus Nemananthus includes only six species of plants, which are semi-epiphytic and epiphytic vines, shrubs and subshrubs, classified in the Gesnerieceae family. They are most often found in the wild in South America.
The name of the plant consists of two Greek words: nema - meaning “thread” and anthos - “flower”. This is due to the fact that some flowers of the plant have a thin, long stalk. The colors of the flowers are orange, red, yellow.
The Nemanantus plant is similar in appearance to Hypocyrtus and Columnia; previously, some types of Nemananthus were classified specifically in this genus.
This genus of perennial flowering plants belongs to the Gesneriaceae family and originates from the humid rainforests of South America. Due to the distinctive, unusual shape and striking orange-yellow hue of its buds, this trailing plant has earned the popular name "goldfish" among indoor gardeners.
ReplyDeleteBy nature, the Nematanthus is an epiphyte or semi-epiphyte, meaning that in its natural habitat, it grows on tree trunks and branches. This shrub attracts attention not only with its distinctive blooms but also with its decorative, glossy foliage, which has a dense, slightly fleshy texture. The plant is completely safe for pets (non-toxic to cats and dogs).
