- Let the top 2 inches of the soil dry out between waterings and mist it often to give it the extra hydration it needs.
- Feed it once every 2 months during the growing season for an extra boost.
- This Aeschynanthus doesn’t need regular repotting but if you notice the roots ‘circling’ around the growing pot, it’s best to increase the pot size by just a few centimetres.
