Looks like a goldfish plant (nematanthus). What do others think?

Thank you, I’ll look it up! This is the only reply I’ve gotten. I looked it up on Google images \& the only two things that I found were 1) jade plants that were not this \& 2) other people with this plant trying to figure it out lol!

#### Koko replied on 2024-02-12

I just looked, I don’t know that that’s what it is but those are super pretty!

#### MattL replied on 2024-02-12

Well, if it flowers you’ll know! There are a lot of varieties of that plant, I’m going by the reddish leaf underside, the leaf shape and the way the fleshy leaves are paired on either side of the stem, all of those say nematanthus to me.

It does definitely look like a few of the pictures I saw but the flowers \& colors were throwing me off lol. Do you know how long it typically takes them to flower? I’ve had this plant since it was a baby (probably a year 1/2 now) \& haven’t had any flowers at all.

Hm, I don’t know! I’ve had them before but I don’t remember how old they were when they first flowered.
