Aeschynanthus marmoratus
Aeschynanthus marmoratus is a striking trailing houseplant with cascading stems of elongated, glossy leaves beautifully marbled in shades of green and lime. The foliage features fine light vein patterning with rich purple undersides, making this variety especially eye-catching even when not in flower. In summer, it produces vivid red tubular blooms that add a dramatic contrast.
Grown primarily for its exceptional foliage, this elegant Lipstick Plant is ideal for hanging baskets or high shelves in warm, bright rooms. It adds texture, colour, and movement to indoor displays and performs best in stable conditions away from cold draughts.
