Product number : 2AELOHA20
DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Aeschynanthus lobbianus, also known as the Lipstick Plant, originates from the tropical rainforests of Malaysia. The plant grows there in the shelter of larger trees and climbs the trunk towards the light. The natural habitat of the Aeschynanthus lobbianus consists of moist and warm environments with indirect sunlight.

Characteristics
The Aeschynanthus lobbianus is a houseplant that stands out because of its unique blooming pattern. The plant is known for its shiny, dark green leaves and bright orange-red, tube-shaped flowers that resemble a lipstick. Due to its ability to grow in the shade, the plant has adjusted to less light than most blooming houseplants do.

Care
The Aeschynanthus lobbianus prefers a lightly shaded spot with high humidity and indirect light. In addition, the plant requires regular watering, letting the soil dry out slightly in between waterings. During the growth period, the plant should be fed weekly with a light dosage of houseplant fertiliser. During the winter months, it is advisable to reduce watering. Regular misting will also be appreciated, as this plant thrives in a humid environment.
