  • Product Info

    The Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) is a vibrant, trailing houseplant known for its glossy green leaves and striking, tube-shaped red flowers resembling lipstick. It thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys moderate humidity. Easy to care for, this plant adds a tropical touch to any indoor space, making it perfect for hanging baskets or shelves.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves. If grown indoors, place near a bright window with filtered light.

    Watering:
    Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out. Reduce watering in colder months when growth slows.

    Soil:
    Prefers a well-draining, airy mix. A combination of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite provides excellent aeration and moisture retention.

    Humidity:
    Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50-70%). If the air is dry, mist occasionally, use a humidity tray, or place near a humidifier to encourage healthy growth.

  • Nursery Pot Size:

    15cm
