Native to Malaysia and Indonesia, this fast-growing plant has glossy, green leaves growing on long hanging stems. It looks great trailing over a hanging basket or shelf, and when grown indoors the ‘Mona Lisa’ stems can grow up to 1 meter! The lipstick plant has red flowers that resemble miniature lipsticks- hence the common name.

Care Difficulty: This plant has moderate care needs.
Light requirements: Aeschynanthus ‘Mona Lisa’ prefers bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to avoid root rot. This plant can withstand some drought conditions but not for long.
Humidity: Native to tropical rainforests, Lipstick plants prefer a humid environment. Places such as the bathrooms or kitchens will have higher humidity or make sure to frequently mist. A lack of humidity can cause the flowers to fail.
Toxicity: Non-Toxic to humans and pets
Feeding: Enjoys a feed in spring and summer, and not in winter.
