Golden fish hanging orchids, also known as golden fish flowers, have a very graceful plant shape, thick leaves, and a deep green color. The flower buds are bright and yellow, resembling cute little goldfish, making them highly ornamental. Moreover, golden fish hanging orchids can purify harmful indoor air, acting as a natural air purifier. As a tropical plant, golden fish hanging orchids are relatively easy to care for. Let me tell you how to cultivate them; it's actually quite simple.
1. Watering
Golden fish hanging orchids love a humid and cool environment and are a great indoor plant. Therefore, it's essential to provide them with plenty of water, especially during hot summers. You can use the immersion method by placing the pot in a shallow container with water. On very hot days, you can also mist the surrounding area to maintain humidity. Remember not to pour water directly on the leaves when watering, as water droplets can reflect light and cause leaf damage if placed outdoors.
2. Light
Golden fish hanging orchids are shade-tolerant plants, so when晒太阳 at home, make sure to provide them with more shade. It's enough to place them in a room with diffused light. However, if the outdoor temperature is low or it's cloudy, you can keep them outside all day to get plenty of sunlight, which will make the flowers bloom more vigorously and the colors more vibrant.

3. Fertilizing
Golden fish hanging orchids like fertilizer and are somewhat dependent on it. When planting, you can mix some nutrient-rich soil into the soil to increase its nutrients. During the plant's growth peak, you can apply some organic thin fertilizer, such as fermented rice water, chicken manure, sheep manure, etc., which helps the plant grow more vigorously. Applying some phosphorus fertilizer before flowering can make the golden fish hanging orchid produce more flowers and make the petals more colorful.
4. Pruning branches
When cultivating golden fish hanging orchids, they can easily become leggy. Once legginess occurs, the number of flowers will decrease. Therefore, it's necessary to prune the branches at the right time and剪掉 the top branches of the golden fish hanging orchid to promote branching. Then check the center, as dense growth can prevent sunlight from reaching the middle, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off after a long time. So the branches in the middle should also be pruned. After some time, the golden fish hanging orchid will fill the pot.
The usual propagation method for golden fish hanging orchids is cutting, with the best time to cut being spring. If you're pruning, you can cut some long branches for propagation. After cutting, place them in a shady and well-ventilated area to grow, then move them outside once the leaves start growing.
