Goldfish Plant 'Koi Orange' Basic Care: Easy

Watering: Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season, but never allow it to become soggy or completely dry out.

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Bright filtered light encourages the best flowering, while harsh direct afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.

Soil/Drainage: Plant in a loose, well-aerated tropical potting mix. A blend containing potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite provides excellent drainage and airflow.

Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 60–75°F (15–24°C) with moderate to high humidity. Average household humidity is acceptable, but higher humidity encourages fuller growth and more abundant blooms.

Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound. Goldfish Plants often bloom best when kept slightly pot-bound.

General Tips: Prune lightly after flowering to encourage branching and keep the plant fuller and bushier. Avoid moving the plant once flower buds begin to form, as sudden changes in light or temperature may cause buds to drop. With bright light, consistent moisture, and a little humidity, 'Koi Orange' will reward you with months of vibrant blooms.
