Aeschynanthus 'Caroline' - lipstick plant

Aeschynanthus ‘Caroline’, also known as the lipstick plant, is a stunning trailing houseplant with glossy green leaves and vibrant red tubular flowers that pop like lipstick from a tube. When in bloom, it creates a spectacular cascade of colour – perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or high planters. Easy to care for and rewarding, it’s a must for anyone who loves flowering houseplants.

Plant Care 

Light: Bright, indirect light encourages the best flowering. Too little light may reduce blooms.

Watering: Water when the top layer of soil feels dry. Keep evenly moist in summer, but allow to dry slightly more in winter.

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 super chonk mix will do the trick. 

Hot tips: This plant loves humidity, so a bright, steamy bathroom is ideal 

Pet Friendly: YES
