Aeschynanthus ‘Tiger Lipstick’ – Exotic Hanging Houseplant 🐯💄

Aeschynanthus ‘Tiger Lipstick’ is a striking trailing plant with glossy green leaves and exotic, tubular orange-red blooms with tiger-like markings. Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, it adds drama and colour while staying surprisingly easy to care for.

Key Features:

✔ Trailing stems with thick, shiny foliage
✔ Eye-catching tiger-striped flowers in bold red-orange shades
✔ Great for hanging pots, macramé planters, or cascading over shelves
✔ Can bloom multiple times a year with the right light
✔ A tropical showstopper with a compact habit

Care Instructions:

• Light: Loves bright, indirect light – too much shade can limit flowering

• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry – avoid overwatering

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity – mist occasionally or place near a pebble tray

• Soil: Use a light, airy mix – orchid bark + compost + perlite is ideal

• Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a bloom-boosting fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep in a warm room above 15°C, away from cold drafts

🌿 Tip: Prune lightly after flowering to keep it tidy and encourage more blooms.
