Care Guide for Green Star Aeschynanthus (Lipstick Plant)

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; too little light may reduce flowering
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry out between waterings
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist occasionally or place near other plants
Temperature: Keep in a warm environment (18-24°C); avoid cold drafts
Soil: Well-draining potting mix; try General Highland Moss houseplant mix, available in our shop
Fertiliser: Feed monthly in spring and summer for healthy growth and flowering

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

No Flowers? Needs more light or a slight temperature drop to encourage blooming
Yellowing Leaves? Overwatering—let the topsoil dry slightly before watering
Leaf Drop? Can be caused by cold drafts or low humidity
Pests? Rare, but mealybugs or spider mites can appear; treat with eco-friendly pest spray, available in our shop

This Lipstick Plant is an excellent choice for adding trailing greenery to your home. With the right care, it will reward you with lush foliage and beautiful blooms!

🌿 Pet Considerations: While not considered toxic to pets, ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Additionally, the plant’s sap can irritate the skin and eyes of both humans and animals. Keep it out of reach if your pets or children are prone to nibbling on plants.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.

Perfect for Every Plant Parent: Whether you’re just starting your plant journey or have a home filled with greenery, our products and accessories are designed to help you succeed.
