Aeschynanthus ‘Mona Lisa’, commonly known as the Lipstick Plant, is a trailing tropical beauty prized for its glossy, deep green foliage and striking tubular flowers in rich shades of red or coral. Its cascading stems make it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a decorative accent in indoor gardens, adding vibrant color and a touch of exotic charm.

Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist; allow the top inch to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

• Temperature: Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C); protect from cold drafts and frost.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally in dry indoor conditions.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix; a mix for epiphytic or tropical plants with added perlite or orchid bark works well.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Pruning: Trim back leggy stems to encourage fuller growth and more blooms.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings in soil or water.
