We’re still working on the most helpful FAQs for this product. Please check back soon or get in touch if you have any questions!

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Aeschynanthus Twister thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It’s perfect for spots where the sunlight is filtered through a sheer curtain or indirectly lit areas that avoid the harsh midday sun.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

This plant enjoys consistent moisture. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. During winter, reduce watering slightly.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)

Lipstick Plants prefer warm environments typical of their tropical origins. Keep them in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C for optimal growth.

💧 Humidity

💧💧💧 (High)

High humidity levels mimic the natural habitat of the Lipstick Plant. Bathrooms or kitchens are ideal locations due to their higher humidity levels. Alternatively, use a humidifier or mist regularly.

🌱 Repotting

Repot your Lipstick Plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to encourage healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe around your furry friends. A perfect choice for pet owners who want lush, trailing greenery without the worry.

🏡 Recommended locations at home

Ideal for hanging baskets or high shelves where its curling tendrils can gracefully trail. Bright bathrooms or kitchens can also be great spots due to the higher humidity.

🍃 Air Purifying

This plant is known for its ability to purify the air, making it not just a decorative addition but a functional one too.

✨ Other Plant Features

The dramatic, spiralling foliage and the bright, lipstick-like flowers make this plant a striking addition to any indoor space. Its easy-care nature makes it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.
