Bijou Goldfish Plant

Pale salmon goldfish shaped flowers are produced below the dark green foliage with almost black stems and petioles. This parents of this cultivar produce storage tubers to survive the dry season in Brazil and are frequently found growing out of cracks in cliffs or in leaf litter over bare rock. Grow in shaded relatively cool conditions in exceptionally well drained soils and allow to go dormant after flowering and seed dispersal has been completed.
