Aeschynanthus
Genus of about 140 species, and many cultivars, of evergreen subshrubs, climbers, and trailing and semi-trailing perennials, most of which are epiphytic, grom subtropical forest in the Hymalayas, S, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and New Guinea. Aeschynanthus is an attractive flowering vine for use in hanging pots. The plant prefers partial shade, particularly in summer. Potting mixes should be moist and porous. The trailing stems can be 2 feet long so may need pruning after flowering has finished. The plant tolerates most house temperatures. Ideal temperatures are 60 F at night but 10 to 15 F higher during the day.
