A lush, trailing houseplant loved for its glossy green leaves and bright lipstick-red blooms.

Perfect for shelves, hanging planters, and anyone who wants a bit of drama without the fuss.

Plant Care

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for flowering. It can tolerate medium light but may bloom less.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; this plant is sensitive to overwatering and letting it dry out completely. 

Temperature: Ideally, they want 18-24°C, especially if you want them to flower. Don't let it get below 10°C. Otherwise, you will see leaf drop and have one sad-looking plant. 

Potting: This plant is an Epiphyte (grows on other plants/trees/branches)in the wild, so a chunky mix is ideal. Our Airy Aroid mix will do the trick. 

Hot tips: If it stops flowering, move it somewhere brighter. Avoid cold drafts—this plant loves warmth and consistency. It will trail beautifully if given a hanging spot.

Pet Friendly: YES
