Goldfish Plant, 4in, Mae Paridon Horticultural Ltd.

A plant that reminds you of the friendly little fish that you had in an aquarium growing up. The Goldfish Plant is a beautiful, waxy-leaved plant with very unique flowers. They look like little fish hanging off the edge of the plant, swimming in their trailing vines. The flowers are a mix of yellows, oranges, and even a bit of red.

Care

General Maintenance: It will bloom heaviest in spring and summer Propogation is easy by stem cuttings rooted in water. Keeping them under 2ft long will promote the best blooms and fullness in the foliage. Repot every 2-3 years.

Temperature: Moderate temperatures are best for this plant. They will thrive between 18°C and 26°C.

Light: Bright indirect light is best for these plants. A great spot is right near an East or West facing window, or a couple feet away from a South facing window.

Watering: Water moderately when the top 2 inches of soil is dry. Water until it drains through the bottom of the pot. Water as near to the base as possible (or bottom water), as these plants do not like drenched leaves. If your house is very dry, you can lightly mist (but from a distance, so as not to drench the leaves). Water less in the winter.

Fertilizer: Fertilize during the summer months with a diluted liqud fertilizer. Slow-release fertilizer also works well.

Soil: Any well-draining soil will work fine.
