dolphin plant or goldfish plant


Question
My friend has one of those. It had beautiful red blooms on it forever. After those blooms dropped off, others started to form, but those look like a white berry. Will those also turn into a flower? I would be very pleased if you answer this for me.

Answer
Bonnie,

I suspect that the white berries are seed pods and no they will not turn into flowers. I suggest that your friend cut the seep pods off. The process of ripening them will weaen the plant and  the seeds will not produce a plant with the same beautiful flowers of the parent plant. If she trims them off and lets the plant rest for 30 days then fertilizes it with a blooming plant fertilizer and sprinkle a teaspoon of epsom salts on top of the soil before watering that should help bring the plant bac into bloom again in about 3 months. If she has any more questions feel free to write again. Good luck.
