Humidity

An occasional spray of mist is my beauty secret to looking fabulous!

Light

I can handle a little shade that's thrown my way, but I prefer to be in bright, indirect sunlight.

Watering

Everything in moderation is my motto, so I like to be watered little but often, keeping my soil moist.

Top tip

A top tip for Aeschynanthus is to prune regularly after flowering to encourage fuller growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers and trim leggy stems to keep the plant compact. Providing bright, indirect light and consistent humidity will also help the plant thrive and produce vibrant lipstick-like flowers.
