A perfect choice for those who want a plant that combines playful beauty with lush greenery, the Goldfish Plant is both decorative and rewarding for growers of all levels.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Soil Needs: Grows best in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter; adding perlite helps improve aeration.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity levels; occasional misting or a humidity tray is beneficial, especially in dry environments.
Fertilizing: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.
Pruning: Pinch back leggy growth to encourage fuller, bushier plants and more flowering stems.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years in spring to refresh the soil and allow room for continued growth.
