Columnea gloriosa ‘California Gold’ 

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.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
