Product number : 4AERAHA16
DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Aeschynanthus 'Rasta', also known as the Lipstick Plant, traces its origin back to the moist, tropical rainforests of Asia, primarily in areas such as Malaysia, the Himalayas and the western part of the Pacific Ocean. Here, the plant grows in treetops and on cliff sides, where it benefits from the high humidity level.

Characteristics
The Aeschynanthus 'Rasta' is an indoor plant that stands out mainly for its long, hanging stems covered with thick, fleshy leaves. These leaves have a dark green colour on the top and a bronze undertone on the bottom. The name Lipstick Plant comes from the striking, tubular flowers the plant produces, which in shape and colour resemble an extended lipstick.

Care
The care for the Aeschynanthus 'Rasta' requires a bright, but not directly sunny location. The plant likes a high humidity level, which can be simulated by regularly spraying with lukewarm water. It's important that the soil dries out slightly between watering to prevent root rot. This plant prefers a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. In the winter period, it is recommended to give the plant less water and provide a cooler location.
