Aeschynanthus rasta - Lipstick plant

Water: During summer months ensure soil is kept moist but not soggy. During the winter allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Enjoys humidity so mist regularly.

Temperature: Average household temperatures

Feed: Use a complete liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season to encourage flower production.
