Instrucciones de cuidado
Aeschynanthus longicaulis prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves.Suelo
This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix. A mix designed for epiphytic plants or orchids, which often includes bark, perlite, and peat, can be ideal. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Fertilize Aeschynanthus longicaulis with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Trasplante
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagación
Propagate Aeschynanthus longicaulis through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, ensuring each cutting has at least two nodes. Place the cuttings in a moist, well-draining soil mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they root.Poda
Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.Toxicidad
Aeschynanthus longicaulis is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good practice to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.Adicional
To enhance humidity around the plant, consider placing it on a tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot is not sitting directly in the water. Regular misting can also help maintain the humidity levels the plant prefers.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
