Columnea (Orange Goldfish Plant)
Established Trailing Specimen!
This plant earns its name from the magnificent, bright orange tubular blooms it produces.
When in full flower, the blooms contrast against the dark green foliage, looking exactly like a school of tiny goldfish leaping through the leaves.
As you can see from the photographs, this is not a small, fragile cutting. You are purchasing a heavily established, bushy specimen that is already densely packed with stems. Because of its natural cascading growth habit, it is the absolute perfect candidate for a hanging basket or placed on a high shelf where its trailing vines can be fully appreciated.
Specialized Potting Mix & Simple Care While it looks exotic, the Goldfish Plant is surprisingly easy to care for once you understand its epiphytic nature. Because it naturally grows on trees in the wild rather than deep in the ground, it requires exceptional drainage.
This specimen is cultivated in a custom, highly breathable aroid-style mixa carefully blended ratio of premium potting soil, chunky bark, and coarse perliteensuring the roots receive plenty of oxygen and never sit in heavy, waterlogged dirt.
Keep it in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect lightthis is the secret to encouraging a profusion of those famous orange blooms.
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering thoroughly.
Fully hardened off and completely acclimatized to South African conditions, this robust plant bypasses the delicate nursery phase entirely.
