Hi @TrustyBroom9 Goldfish plants can be sensitive to stress and not grow much or bloom when things aren’t quite right. How long has she been in the 9” pot? It seems a little big for her size. Because of the pot size, she could be putting energy into more roots and leaves 🍃 than blooming. Regarding lots of dead stems. You can cut those off and any long leggy stems with leaves just at the ends. It will encourage more growth and a fuller plant. In fact I’d be tempted to trim her back, encouraging new fuller growth all over. It looks like she’s got some newer growth on top so leave that alone & maybe trim back some of the longer stems. Mine didn’t bloom much more than 3 or 4 flowers at a time for a while. When I gave it more hours of indirect light it helped a lot. With yours in a southern window check to be sure she’s not drying out too much since you last watered almost 2 weeks ago. Because of the size of the pot use a moisture meter to check deeper down. You definitely don’t want a soggy bottom! 🤪 nobody wants a soggy bottom! 🤣 😜 Some folks use a bamboo skewer or wooden chopstick to test the soil.
Thank you . For your time and input. I appreciate you. It came in that pot when I bought it and it was much fuller so it did not look so small in the pot. I did trim off all the dead . It’s funny I just bought a plant moisture meter to check my plant . I feel I over water things . I was hoping for more regrowth when I trimmed it back as well . The leaves are really healthy with regrowth so I guess we will see :)
