After blooming, it is like a goldfish playing. It is especially loved by children. Secondly, it is easy to maintain and suitable for placement in a well-lit and well-ventilated indoor location.
So, when taking care of goldfish flowers in daily life, how should we water them in different seasons? It likes a warm and humid environment. In summer, it should avoid direct sunlight and strong winds. When the temperature is higher than 30 degrees Celsius, the watering frequency needs to be appropriately increased, and pay attention to the accumulated water at the bottom of the flowerpot. During the growing season (from spring to autumn), watering can be done according to the slightly moist state of the soil. In the cold season, the plant will enter a semi-dormant state, so watering should be reduced.
As for the soil, it likes well-drained soil. You can choose garden soil for maintenance. During the growing period, remember to apply a diluted liquid fertilizer to the goldfish flower every two weeks to supplement nutrients. But please note that the amount of fertilization should be appropriate to avoid excessive fertilization leading to root burning.

Considering the different lighting conditions in different seasons, it is recommended to choose a semi-shady environment, scattered light or indirect lighting place.
In terms of temperature, goldfish flowers like to live between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Therefore, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius in summer, pay attention to high temperature and humidity. Such an environment is likely to cause diseases and pests to it. In order to keep it healthy, in addition to ensuring the growth environment, you can also open windows regularly for ventilation or use tools such as electric fans to increase air circulation. When winter comes, avoid low temperatures and frost. Pay attention to moving the potted plant back indoors for maintenance.
Finally, regarding pruning, goldfish flowers are relatively hardy. Therefore, its branches are prone to being messy. If you find overly long or dense branches, they need to be pruned in time. Especially in summer, it is necessary to regularly cut off withered, yellow, and pest-infected branches to promote the growth of new leaves and flowers.
