Plant Biography
Aeschyanthus is a group of more than 150 species and countless cultivars that are native to tropical forests of South East Asia. The genus name comes from a contraction of aischuno (to be ashamed) and anthos (flower).
In the wild, the flowers are pollinated by sunbirds, which can reach down the tubular flowers for nectar.
The ‘Mona Lisa’ variety of the Lipstick plant has a flatter and broader leaf compared to other cultivars of the Aeschyanthus.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
The Lipstick plant is a perfect plant for hanging baskets. Make sure to keep the plant in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight.
Fertilise every other month with a weak solution of houseplant fertiliser or mist with a foliar fertiliser (like an orchid myst solution) as the plant will absorb nutrients through the leaves and stalks.
To make the plant look fuller in the pot, take cuttings from longer vines and plant them back in the pot immediately. They will root through very fast while the cut vine will branch out.
