Black Goldfish Plant - 6"
The Black Goldfish Plant, in a 6-inch pot, is a striking and unique houseplant that gets its name from its vibrant, goldfish-shaped flowers that stand out against its deep green, almost black foliage. This tropical plant is a favorite for its distinctive appearance and its ability to bloom throughout the year, especially when given the right conditions. With its cascading habit, the Black Goldfish Plant is perfect for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant in pots, making it a versatile addition to any indoor plant collection.
It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a consistently moist, well-draining potting mix. While it enjoys humidity, it can adapt to typical indoor conditions. Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidifier will promote lush growth and help encourage more blooms. With proper care, the Black Goldfish Plant can grow vigorously, producing an abundance of its signature flowers that look like tiny leaping goldfish.
This plant is an excellent choice for those looking for an easy-care, eye-catching plant that adds both color and texture to their space.
