Aeschynanthus Rasta
☀️ - Given its affinity for warmth, the "Rasta" Aeschynanthus appreciates some morning or afternoon sun. Adequate bright, indirect light is essential, as insufficient levels may lead to uneven growth, spindly stems, and leaf drop. Prolonged exposure to full sun should be avoided, as it can result in leaf burn.
💧- Opt for rainwater or tap water left out overnight. During summer, moderate watering is recommended, infrequent but consistent, ensuring the soil doesn't completely dry out. Preventing soggy soil is crucial to avoid root rot.
🌡️- Maintain temperatures between 21-27°C for optimal growth. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, as temperatures below 10°C can damage the plant, causing chilling and turning the leaves dark red.
🪴- Choose an airy, rich soil with good drainage. Repotting is necessary only when the roots outgrow the pot, and it's best done during the warmer months.
🐾- Pet friendly.

This plant is not naturally found in the wild; originally an epiphyte, the "Rasta" Aeschynanthus has been selectively cultivated to develop larger leaves and adapt to soil conditions suitable for indoor environments. It features lengthy, vibrant green trailing stems adorned with glossy, curly leaves, some culminating in lipstick-shaped rouge flowers. Thriving in warmth, this plant is well-suited for a cosy bedroom or a toasty kitchen.
