Alongside our series on plant myths, we're also launching a new series featuring our employees’ favorite plants. First up is Anton:

"This is one of my favorite plants in my collection. It’s an unusual epiphytic plant native to the Atlantic forests of Brazil and doesn’t have an English common name. Its scientific name is Nematanthus fissus, originally collected in Boracéia. I’ve had it for a couple of years now, and it means a lot to me since it's slow growing and I received it as a very small cutting from a dear friend. I grow many blooming houseplants, but for me, the plants I grow don’t always have to be showy to be special.

I love this plant because it came from a friend, and it’s a species that isn’t too commonly cultivated. It has really oddly shaped blooms, like tiny, shining red whales scattered on the branches throughout most of the year in my growing conditions. I grow my plant in a southeast-facing window in a hanging pot.

Although rare and slow growing, it’s a fairly easy-to-grow species belonging to the same genus as the more common clog plant / goldfish plant (Nematanthus gregarius)."
