🌿 Goldfish Plant Care Instructions

While the Goldfish Plant has a playful reputation for being a bit of a diva, providing a stable environment rewards you with lush, continuous growth.

- Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Keep it safely out of harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can easily scorch the delicate foliage or cause the brilliant colors to fade.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water thoroughly once the top inch of substrate feels dry to the touch. Use your clear pot to visually check moisture levels deep in the soil column. Pro tip: This plant is sensitive to fluoride and hard minerals found in municipal tap water. Use distilled water, rainwater, or filtered water to prevent brown, crispy leaf edges.
- Humidity: Thrives beautifully in high humidity environments (60% or higher). Run a humidifier nearby, place the pot over a wet pebble tray, or utilize a bright, naturally humid bathroom to keep the trailing foliage pristine.
- Temperature: Maintain a stable indoor temperature range between 65°F and 80°F. Protect your plant from cold window drafts, active air conditioning vents, and sudden heat sources.
- Soil: Plant or top-dress using a loose, airy, well-draining potting soil mix rich in organic matter, such as our signature Dirtbags Handcrafted Soil Blend.
