GENERAL INFORMATION

• They are steady growers, but they can be more finicky with their care than other plants from the tropics as these are epiphytes.
• They didn’t evolve to grow in a hanging basket, garden bed, or even soil – goldfish plants naturally grow on top of other plants, usually trees.
• Epiphytes get their nutrients and water from the air and rain so they aren’t parasitic.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Plant it in rich, fertile, well-draining soil that retains moisture.
• A commercial potting soil specially mixed for African violets works well for the goldfish plant.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Feed them with a high-phosphorous liquid fertilizer, such as 10-30-10, diluted to half the recommended strength from the spring through the fall.
• Allow it to dry out almost completely in the winter while they prepare to bloom and stop feeding the plants.
