Curly Lipstick Care

Overwatering your Curly Lipstick is a no-no. Moderate watering is best. Do not soak the soil as this will lead to root-rot and potential fungal problems.

Prune the lipstick plant back right after it finishes blooming. Pruning encourages new, healthy stems and leaves. Each stem should be trimmed back to a length of about 6 inches (15 cm). Use sharp scissors or hand pruners and make a cut right above a leaf.

Curly Lipstick Plants enjoy a home in well-aerated soil. Using a liquid fertiliser is a good idea, but ensure that you keep the soil moist.

The Aeschynanthus lipstick vine will not bloom without adequate light. Avoid placing this plant in full shade or full sun. The plant needs bright light for a portion of the day, but not all day long.

To ensure good Aeschynanthus care, make sure you use soil that is well aerated and isn't heavy

Indoor temperatures ranging between 75°F to 85°F promote the best growth and flowering. Lipstick Plants will tolerate temperatures down to 60°F but the growth slows. When indoor temperatures drop to 50°F or lower, the plant suffers tissue damage and leaf drop.

A hanging basket is a good pot for the cascading Aeschynanthus lipstick vine. You can also grow the vine on slabs of wood, but if you do, be sure to keep the plant adequately moist. You can repot this plant from a few cuttings if you fertilize the plant and water it moderately.
