Aeschynanthus Twister - lipstick plant

A bold flowering houseplant with arching stems of glossy green leaves and clusters of brilliant scarlet-red blooms that peek out like little lipsticks. Native to tropical Asia, this variety is prized for its vigorous trailing habit and dramatic flowering display. Perfect for hanging baskets or trailing planters, it brings vibrant colour and energy to bright indoor spaces.

Plant Care 

Light: This plant loves bright indirect light, but direct sun could scorch the leaves.

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 super chonk mix will do the trick. 

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

Pet Friendly: YES
