Aeschynanthus 'Twister XL' - This is such a quirky unusual plant that it will certainly catch people's attention and has done every time we have had them in stock in our store! Perfect for growing indoors in a hanging basket where the curling foliage and tropical looking flowers can tumble over the edge to be fully appreciated.

Originating from rainforests these plants like a humid warm atmosphere in a brightly lit spot, but not in direct sun, so a steamy bathroom or kitchen would be ideal.

  • Light: Keep in moderate sunlight, bright but indirect
  • Water: Water frequently, never allow the soil to dry out, water when the soil is dry to touch.
  • Pot size: 15cm
  • Length: 40cm

Please note that due to the delicate nature of this plant, some stems may naturally break off in transit.

Please check delivery information before placing your order. Please note that as plants are living items, they may vary from the images shown and variations in colour and shape should be expected.

How not to kill your Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis - Lipstick Plant

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis - Lipstick Plant. Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

I'm pretty flexible, actually. Generally I'd rather be in a bright spot, with plenty of indirect light. But if all you've got is a moderately shady corner, that's no biggie I'll happily adapt with perhaps a bit less watering. Just keep me out of any harsh, direct sun and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: High

Ooh, I love a bit of atmosphere! That's why you'd always find me in the bathroom at parties ;-) I think my favourite karaoke song would be 'Spritz Me Baby, One More Time' or maybe 'Come Up and Spritz Me (Make Me Smile)'. I'm sure you get the gist.

Watering: Regular

I'm a Thirsty Kirsty! I could drink most other plants under the table and still throw shapes on the dancefloor. Don't let me dry out or there'll be trouble, but remember, the art of drinking is slow & steady. Too much, too quick isn't good for any of us. Keep my soil moist but not soggy.
