Aeschynanthus 'Black patoga'

Aeschynanthus 'Black Patoga' , also known as the 'lipstick plant', is a tropical climbing plant with glossy dark green, almost black foliage, from which it gets its name. It produces beautiful red tubular flowers that contrast with its dark leaves, creating a striking visual effect. It is a perfect hanging plant, bringing an exotic and elegant touch to your interior.

Care :

• Light : It prefers bright indirect light. Too little light will reduce its flowering, while direct sunlight can burn its delicate leaves.
• Watering : Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid standing water, as its roots are susceptible to rot. Reduce watering in winter.
• Humidity : This plant likes high humidity. If the air is dry, mist the leaves regularly or place it near a humidifier, especially during the winter months.
• Temperature : Keep it between 18°C and 26°C. It does not like cold temperatures or drafts.
• Fertilizer : Fertilize every 4 weeks with a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants during the growing season (spring-summer) to stimulate flowering.
• Repotting : Repot every 2-3 years or when roots appear congested. Use a light, well-drained substrate.

Aeschynanthus 'Black Patoga' is an elegant and decorative houseplant, ideal for those looking for a climbing or hanging plant with vibrant flowers.
