Re: Goldfish Plant

i don't have the original discussion at hand, but... goldfish plant [alloplectus nummularia; syn hypocyrta nummularia] is a fairly close relative of the african violet and has similar requirements when grown indoors. mine is growing in a handing basket under the eave by the back door. outdoors, but close enough to the house to be protected from any wayward frost or chill. it blooms all year, i think--at least it seems to.

I know we discussed this plant earlier, but I deleted all the information
about it. Anyway, last night I got one at our MG plant swap.  Please tell me
where, and under what conditions to plant it.  I have looked in all the books
I could find (I've got them all over the place), but I couldn't find anything
on it.  No botanical name was given on the marker in the pot.  We're
expecting Pam's heavy thunderstorms tonight, and, like Pam, I don't want any
"twirlies" either! :-)

Thanks,
