 💄🌿

The Aeschynanthus ‘Mona Lisa’, commonly called the Lipstick Plant, is a striking tropical beauty that produces cascading glossy foliage with vibrant tubular red flowers that peek out from dark calyxes, resembling a tube of lipstick. Perfect for hanging baskets or shelves, it adds a bold splash of colour indoors.

✔ Bright red blooms that resemble lipstick tubes

✔ Excellent for hanging baskets and elevated displays

✔ Long flowering season in warm conditions

✔ A great plant for adding a tropical touch to interiors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – too little light reduces flowering

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy – allow the top layer to dry slightly between watering

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with good aeration

• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer

• Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity – mist regularly or place near a humidifier

🌿 Tip: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a fuller, bushier shape.
