The flower color ranges from yellow to medium yellow-orange, with a shade code of 020A. This vibrant color adds a pop of brightness to any setting.

The general shape of the leaves is ovate or egg-shaped, adding an interesting visual element to the overall plant structure. The leaf width ranges from 4 to 5 cm, while the leaf size measures between 7.5 to 10 cm.

The plant diameter typically ranges from 15 to 20 cm, providing a well-rounded and symmetrical shape. The flower length and height are both around 1.5 to 2 cm, contributing to the plant's petite and delicate nature.
The 'Serenity Gold' exhibits an inflorescence pattern known as corymb, where the flowers are arranged in a flat-topped cluster. This gives the plant a cohesive and organized look, with the flowers showcasing their beauty collectively. The flower color distribution is unicolored, meaning that the petals have a consistent hue throughout.
In terms of care, the 'Serenity Gold' is relatively low maintenance. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires regular watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. This variety prefers moderate to bright indirect light, making it well-suited for indoor settings or areas with filtered sunlight.
