Columnea Krakatau – Flying Goldfish Houseplant | Easy-Care Air-Purifying Plant

Add a splash of colour and charm to your home with the Columnea Krakatau, commonly known as the Flying Goldfish plant. This eye-catching houseplant gets its nickname from its unique, fish-shaped flowers that appear to leap from the stems in vibrant coral-orange hues, resembling tiny goldfish in motion.

A perfect choice for plant lovers looking for something a little different, this plant is not only visually striking but also easy to care for and known for its air-purifying qualities.

  • Shipping only £3.95 on orders £20 and over
  • Free delivery on orders over £80

🌞 Light & Placement

Columnea Krakatau thrives in bright, indirect light, making it ideal for sunny rooms, bright bathrooms, or office spaces. Too much direct sun may scorch the leaves, so place it near a north- or east-facing window for best results.

💧 Watering & Soil

This plant prefers well-draining soil and regular watering. Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in excess water. A chunky potting mix or one designed for tropicals will work well.

🌬️ Air-Purifying Benefits

Columnea Krakatau is a fantastic air-purifying houseplant, helping to filter indoor air and boost your workspace or home environment.

⚠️ Flowering & Delivery Note

This variety often produces blooms throughout the year, but flowering is naturally seasonal and may vary. While our plants are currently in bloom, you may receive a specimen without flowers depending on the timing of your order. Due to the delicate nature of the blooms, some flowers may be damaged during transit, but the plant will continue to grow and bloom with proper care.
