Columnea 'Stavanger Gesneriad African Violet Kin

Columnea 'Stavanger'

 A few Columnea species and hybrids produce very long trailing stems, and are well suited to the development of spectacular hanging baskets, sometimes over six feet long. 'Stavanger', it is reputed, requires relatively cool growing conditions for some period of the year in order to bloom well.

Columneas grow as epiphytic plants in the wild and require bright light, good air circulation, and a well-drained growing medium that is allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. They are very tolerant of underpotting and seem to bloom best when potbound. Most are tropical plants and are easy to grow under indoor or greenhouse conditions but some species come from high altitudes and require cooler temperatures to grow well or bloom. A common name is flying goldfish plants.
