Aeschynanthus ‘Pink Polka’ is a playful trailing houseplant with glossy green leaves splashed with soft pink variegation. As it matures, it produces clusters of tubular flowers, adding an extra layer of interest to an already eye-catching plant. Its cascading habit makes it perfect for shelves or hanging pots, where the patterned foliage can really shine. This is an evergreen tropical houseplant that keeps its foliage year-round indoors.

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for flowering. It can tolerate medium light but may bloom less.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; this plant is sensitive to overwatering and letting it dry out completely.
Temperature: Ideally, they want 18-24°C, especially if you want them to flower. Don't let it get below 10°C. Otherwise, you will see leaf drop and have one sad-looking plant.
Potting: This plant is an Epiphyte (grows on other plants/trees/branches)in the wild, so a chunky mix is ideal. Our Airy Aroid mix will do the trick.
Hot tips: If it stops flowering, move it somewhere brighter. Avoid cold drafts—this plant loves warmth and consistency. It will trail beautifully if given a hanging spot.
Pet Friendly: YES
