Interview
In summer, water your Aeschynanthe regularly to keep the root ball moist and space out the waterings when the temperature cools.
It is best to water it with water at room temperature and not calcareous. Don't forget to mist its foliage in dry weather or hot weather.
Fertilizer is recommended during the growth period from March to October: every two weeks.
Repotting / Planting
Repotting is done in the spring when the roots emerge from the bottom of the pot.
A well-drained soil is necessary: place clay balls in the bottom of the pot.
Good to know!
To promote flowering, we advise you to expose your Aeschynanthus to a cooler temperature. Ideally in a room at 15-16°C for one month in winter.
Do not hesitate to prune its stems a little in September after flowering. This will strengthen her!
