Goldfish Plant (5")

A charming tropical plant known for its glossy green foliage and bright orange-red flowers that resemble tiny goldfish. Its naturally trailing growth makes it especially beautiful in hanging baskets or displayed on a high shelf.

💧 Watering
Keep the soil lightly and consistently moist during the growing season, but never soggy. Water when the top inch begins to feel dry. Reduce watering in winter, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

☀️ Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Plenty of filtered light helps encourage healthy growth and flowering. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.

🌿 Care Level
Easy to Moderate — relatively easy to grow indoors with consistent moisture, bright light, and moderate humidity.

🐾 Pet Friendly
Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a great choice for pet-friendly homes.

⚠️ Things to Watch For

Avoid overwatering and waterlogged soil
Too little light may reduce flowering
Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
Watch for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites

🪴 Repotting
Repot every 2–3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Goldfish Plants generally do well when slightly snug in their pots, so avoid choosing an oversized container.

🌱 Soil
Use a light, well-draining indoor potting mix that retains some moisture. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage and airflow around the roots.
