Aeschynanthus - tips and tricks
The Aeschynanthus, in German Schamblume, is a very decorative houseplant with its bizarre flowers. In the home garden, the plant originating from the south and southeast of Asia does not feel well, where it is too cold.
The ideal location for the Aeschynanthus
The shamrock loves it bright and warm, but it does not tolerate the blazing sun well. Therefore, it is better on a bright east or west window than on a south window, where it should be shaded during the noon hours. A north window, on the other hand, should be too dark for her.
Since many varieties of the Schamblumen form long hanging shoots, they are very well suited for the planting of hanging staffs. If the Aeschynanthus is rearranged while carrying buds or flowers, then these could fall off. So avoid a relocation during this time. The temperature should be between 20 ° C and 25 ° C during the growth phase.
The Aeschynanthus properly pour and fertilize
The warm and humid climate is what your Aeschynanthus likes best. Accordingly, it should be watered regularly. If her root ball dries out, then the plant could enter. From March to August, give her a little liquid fertilizer about every two weeks.
For an occasional spraying with lukewarm and lime-free water the shamrock is very grateful. In this way, you ensure optimum humidity while preventing infestation with annoying aphids.
The pamela overwinter
In winter you should treat your Schamblume a hibernation at about 16 ° C. Although the plant does not grow during this time, we will see plenty of flowering in the next year. Be sure to limit the amount and frequency of pouring, but do not let the soil dry out. Without hibernation, the flowering of your Aeschynanthus is significantly less.

The regular spraying of your Aeschynanthus provides the necessary air humidity and at the same time prevents an attack with aphids.
