Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives filtered light throughout the day will encourage the best flower production.
No, the Goldfish Plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or mantle where curious cats or dogs cannot reach it.
The Goldfish Plant prefers slightly drier soil. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings, and ensure the pot drains well to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
It prefers medium humidity levels. While it can adapt to average household conditions, it will appreciate a spot with slightly higher moisture, such as a kitchen or bathroom with good light.
The plant arrives in a 4-inch plastic grow pot with drainage holes. You can place this directly into a decorative cachepot of your choice to match your home decor.
