Product Description

The Goldfish Plant, from Southern Mexico and Brazil, is a small, indoor, hanging plant with waxy leaves and tiny orange pouched flowers. This plant needs bright light, but avoid full sun. A windowsill facing east seems to be the perfect place for this plant. Trying to keep the plant about 60 degrees in winter is said to encourage flowering. Prune the stems often in winter to encourage bushy growth and flowers. Keep the soil just damp while in flower. This plant will also benefit from fertilizers, but do not feed it in the winter. Also, you should slow the watering of almost all your plants while they're resting in the winter.

Ordered this plant through Amazon from Hirt's Gardens. In the middle of winter. The plant arrived quickly, completely intact and was packaged extremely well. I'd never purchase a plant mail order before, but after this experience will have no problems doing it again.

this grows like a weed and i love it. 100's of goldfish flowers and it never gets tired of growing. I bought 3 of these plants and all are exceptionally huge! I give them a shower with the water hose and blow off any dead leaves and it works like a charm. they love the water. My biggest problem is remembering to water them. My husband has to carry the pots outside for me because they are too heavy, even though they are in plastic pots. ALL THEY NEED IS LOTS OF WATER AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. I fertalize them every 6 months or so with plant spikes. but no special care other than a regular bath/shower. love them.

I was so happy to find this plant as mine died and I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to find a replacement. It is such a unique plant and a gorgeous addition to any home. You will enjoy the little "goldfish" as they bloom.
