Description: Goldfish Plant 6" Hanging Pot Profuse Bloomer Plant Indoor/Outdoor Easy Grow 6" Hanging pot displays great Indoors and Outdoors Easy to care for & Drought Resistant Beautiful red Orange Flowers blooms in the Spring and Summer The flowers of goldfish plant resemble a goldfish Goldfish plants are highly rewarding. Outdoors, they want to grow to 3 feet, but it's a good idea to pinch off the new stems and maintain the plant under two feet tall. This will encourage better blooming and bushiness. Older, larger stems will cascade down the sides of the pot and form a really beautiful display when they flower, especially in hanging baskets. These plants are somewhat sensitive to high temperatures and moisture on their leaves, so if you start to see browning or leaf drop, it could be that the temperatures are too high or the leaves are getting wet. Also, look out for aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs as these are common pests on this tropical plant. Other problems can be attributed to poor daily care. Some signs of problems are leggy growth, leaf drop, and lack of flowering. For a plant that needs a humid environment, overwatering is often the culprit. The plants are also prone to mold and fungus growth. Careful inspection of the plants should be part of your routine care, which can help stop problems before they become intensified. Light Goldfish plants prefer bright light, but they don't like direct light. An eastern facing window is perfect. They can also successfully be grown under lights indoors, especially during the winter. Soil A light, fast-draining potting soil is perfect. You can use fortified soils. In the wild, goldfish plants are epiphytes, a type of plant that grows upon other plants. It will usually grow on a tree. Water During the summer, water generously and keep the soil continuously moist. In the winter, cut back on the water and allow the soil to become slightly drier. This seems to encourage better blooming. Be aware that the soil should never dry completely out. Temperature and Humidity Many people assume that tropical plants need high heat and high humidity to thrive. In nature, most of the tropical plants grow under a lush, green canopy of other plants, so the temperature is actually cooler. Goldfish houseplants are best in room temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They need mild to moderate humidity and can be misted daily with room temperature water. Cold water will damage the foliage. In particularly dry environments, a humidifier near the plant is helpful. Fertilizer Feed weekly during the growing season with a weak liquid fertilizer that includes micronutrients and encourages blooming. Controlled release fertilizer pellets are also excellent.
