£12
Tax included.

Native to Asia, 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 lipstick plant has pink flowers that resemble miniature lipsticks- hence the common name. The 'Pink Polka' has luscious circular green leaves. 

RATING: Moderately easy to care for. Lipstick plants are fairly easy to maintain and look great when they flower.

LOVES: Aeschynanthus enjoys high humidity, watering when the top two inches of soil are dry and a bright but sunless spot.

HATES: Dry air. A lack of humidity throughout the summer can cause the flowers on your Lipstick plant to fail.

    Quick Care Guide

    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.

    Repotting: Repot around once a year -check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot!
