Aeschynanthus obconicus / ‘Mona Lisa Lipstick’
A very graceful hanging plant that blooms on and off through the year, this lipstick plant is a real showstopper. With dark green waxy leaves that are somewhat succulent, and beautiful red tubular flowers that give it the nickname “Lipstick”, it is a firm favourite of ours.
*Pot size 17cm (hanging). Non-toxic to pets.*

Watering
Dependent on home conditions, pot size and season. Allow to dry out between waters during the winter, be more vigilant to prevent long periods of drought during the summer.
