Nematanthus gregarius 'Variegata', commonly known as the Variegated Goldfish Plant, is a captivating epiphytic shrub native to Brazil. This charming cultivar typically reaches a height of 30-60 cm, making it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a houseplant.

Thriving in bright, indirect light, Nematanthus gregarius 'Variegata' prefers high humidity and well-draining soil.
