The Twisted Lipstick Plant, scientifically known as Aeschynanthus ‘Twister’, is a captivating indoor plant prized for its unique, curled foliage and vibrant, lipstick-like flowers.
Here’s a breakdown of Twisted lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus ‘Twister’) key characteristics and care tips:
- Unique Foliage:
- The most distinctive feature is its twisted, curling, and fleshy leaves, giving it a quirky and attractive appearance.
- Lipstick-Like Flowers:
- It produces tubular, bright red flowers that resemble miniature lipsticks, hence the name.
- Trailing Growth:
- Its long, trailing stems make it ideal for hanging baskets, allowing the foliage and flowers to cascade beautifully.
- Epiphytic Nature:
- Like many Aeschynanthus species, it’s epiphytic, meaning it naturally grows on other plants in its native rainforest environment.
Care Tips:
- Light:
- Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering:
- Water thoroughly but allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Reduce watering during the winter months.
- Humidity:
- Enjoys high humidity, mimicking its natural rainforest habitat.
- Regular misting or placing the plant in a humid environment like a bathroom or kitchen is beneficial.
- Temperature:
- Prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 15°C to 22°C (59°F to 72°F).
- Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 13°C (55°F).
- Soil:
- Requires well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for epiphytic plants or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Fertilizing:
- Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Repotting:
- Repotting should be done when the plant becomes root bound.
The Aeschynanthus ‘Twister’ is a wonderful plant that adds a touch of tropical charm to any indoor space.
