Care Instructions for Goldfish Plant:
1. Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top inch feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot. Make sure the plant’s container has proper drainage.
2. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some light shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
3. Soil: Use well-draining potting soil, ideally a mix for tropical plants. Ensure good drainage to prevent water from sitting around the roots.
4. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C). It’s not frost-tolerant, so it should be kept in temperatures above 50°F (10°C).
5. Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, so consider placing it in a more humid environment or misting the leaves occasionally. A humidity tray or humidifier can also help.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.
7. Pruning: To maintain its shape and encourage new growth, regularly trim back any dead or leggy stems.

Hardiness Zones: Goldfish Plants are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10-11 but are commonly grown as indoor plants in cooler climates.
