Aeschynanthus 'Bolero Bicolore'

In many ways, successful indoor gardeners are true champions, often creating optimal growing conditions for plants with grow lights, humidifiers, and a lot of determination. The Lipstick plant is an epiphytic native of SE Asia, so in order to bloom, it needs well-draining soil, a lot of indirect light, and higher levels of humidity than are normal for most homes. The payoff may well be worth it, especially with the two-toned, red and orange flowers of this 'Bolero Bicolore.' If conditions aren't right for summer flowers, the variegated leaves of this trailing specimen still make it an attractive house plant.
