Care and Growing Tips for Your Goldfish Plant:
- Light: Goldfish Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. A north-facing window is often ideal, or place the plant a few feet away from a south or west-facing window.
- Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial for the Goldfish Plant. Use a potting mix that retains some moisture but allows excess water to drain away. A blend of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works well.
- Watering: Water your Goldfish Plant regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently. Reduce watering in the fall and winter.
- Temperature and Humidity: Goldfish Plants prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They also appreciate moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water or by using a humidifier.
