Onderhoudsinstructies
The Lipstick Plant prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in a warm environment with moderate humidity. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid letting it sit in water. It thrives in moderate temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts.Bodem
Aeschynanthus radicans prefers well-draining soil, such as a mix of loam and perlite or orchid bark. The soil should retain some moisture but not become waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Feed the Lipstick Plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Verpotten
Repot the Lipstick Plant every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use fresh, well-draining soil. Repotting is best done in the spring.Voortplanting
Propagate Aeschynanthus radicans through stem cuttings. Take cuttings with at least two nodes and place them in water or moist soil. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant them into individual pots.Snoeien
Prune the Lipstick Plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning is best done in the spring or after the flowering period.Toxiciteit
