Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis

Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis, commonly known as Lipstick Plant, is a charming and vibrant tropical houseplant celebrated for its distinctive tubular, red flowers that resemble a tube of lipstick. With its cascading growth habit and glossy green foliage, this plant adds a touch of elegance to any indoor setting.

☀️- As she loves warmth, she prefers some morning or afternoon sun. Aeschynanthus need a lot of bright, indirect light. Lower levels can cause staggered growth, spindly stems and leaf drop. Do not allow it to stay in full sun for a lengthy period as this will shrivel the leaves.

💧- Prefers rainwater or tap water left out overnight. We recommend that you water moderately over summer, little but frequently and not allowing the soil to dry out completely. It is also important to avoid soggy soil as this will cause root rot.

🌡️- Ideal temperatures are 21-27°C. She prefers a warmer position away from cold draughts. Temperatures below 10°C will damage the plant and cause chilling, turning the leaves a dark red.

🪴- Use an airy soil, rich but with good drainage. You will only need to do this when the roots have outgrown the pot, and only during the warmer months.

🐾- Pet friendly.
