Columnea gloriosa ‘California Gold’ (Goldfish Plant)

Columnea gloriosa ‘California Gold’ 

Columnea gloriosa, the California Gold variety of the Goldfish Plant, is cherished for its vibrant red-orange blooms that charmingly resemble leaping goldfish. This plant thrives under extra humidity, making it perfect for enthusiasts who enjoy providing a bit of extra care, such as misting or using a humidifier. With its unique flowering and care needs, California Gold adds a burst of color and a tropical feel to any space.

For optimal growth and blooming in the spring and summer, keep the soil lightly moist without letting it dry out completely during the winter. A slightly drier winter encourages vibrant blooms. The recommended African violet soil mix ensures proper drainage and nutrient balance. This distinctive plant is ideal for anyone looking to add a splash of lively color and interest to their indoor garden.

Goldfish Plant Basic Care: Easy

• Watering: Don't let it completely dry out. Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.
• Light: Opt for bright, filtered light. Direct sunlight can burn the foliage, while too little light may cause leaves to drop.
• Soil/Drainage: It best suits a well-aerated, draining tropical mix, though it can handle a standard indoor potting mix.
• Temperature/Humidity: It's OK with average room temperatures and humidity but thrives in warmer and humid conditions.
