The Aeschynanthus, better known as lipstick plant, is a spectacular flowering trailing plant that enchants every plant lover. The striking red flowers emerge from dark calyces - exactly like a lipstick from its tube! With graceful, trailing vines full of glossy green foliage, this tropical beauty is perfect for a hanging pot or high shelf.
Aeschynanthus Varieties for Sale Aeschynanthus Radicans is the most popular species with classic red flowers. 'Mona Lisa' has more compact growth and blooms abundantly. 'Twister' has twisted leaves for extra texture. All varieties share the same spectacular flower shape where the red bloom emerges from a dark calyx. Flowering can occur multiple times per year, especially from spring to fall.
Aeschynanthus Care The lipstick plant needs some extra attention but rewards with beautiful flowers. Bright indirect light is essential for blooming - too little light = no flowers! Keep soil slightly moist, let topsoil dry between waterings. High humidity (60-80%) is important. Temperature: 18-27°C for optimal blooming. Prune back to 15-20 cm after flowering to stimulate new growth and flowers. Fertilize every 2 weeks during growing season with phosphate-rich feed. Toxic to pets.
