Goldfish plant has sparse leaves and won't bloom - it turns out the care method was wrong

Recently I've received many messages about the goldfish plant, and the most common questions are: sparse leaves, no new branches, and no flowers?

Actually, the goldfish plant is very easy to care for. If your goldfish plant has sparse leaves, doesn't grow new branches, or even doesn't bloom, then the care method must be wrong. Next, I'll tell you how to grow the goldfish plant so it's lush and full of branches, and blooms every year.

First,If grown indoors, it should be placed in a spot with plenty of sunlight all year round. If grown outdoors, when the light is too strong in summer, don't let it get sun at noon.

In short,Whether grown indoors or outdoors, if it's placed in a spot without sunlight for a long time, this goldfish plant will 100% not bloom. So, if you want it to bloom, then give it more sun!

?Second,Fertility must be kept up. Only with sufficient fertility will the leaves be thick and glossy and the flowers plentiful. First, bury some compound fertilizer shallowly around the edge of the pot (ordinary compound fertilizer or Osmocote slow-release fertilizer both work). When the fertilizer has completely dissolved, give it another dose. Then, from March to October each year, give it monopotassium phosphate once every 10 days.

Third,If when planted, the potting soil is loose and has good air permeability, you can often feel the potting soil with your hand, digging down 2-3cm along the edge of the pot. If the potting soil is dry, then water it again.

?Don't water too frequently. If you water too often, it's not only easy to rot the roots, but also hard to get it to bloom. Plants are more likely to bloom under drought conditions. If you water too frequently, it will grow leaves like crazy and not bloom.

In addition,You should also frequently pinch off the tips, so that not only will the leaves be thick and large, but there will also be more side buds, and many new branches will grow from the base.As long as there is sufficient light and fertility, and you frequently pinch off the tips,the goldfish plant will not only be lush and full of branches, but will also bloom continuously in spring, summer, and autumn.
