Aeschynanthus jouyi
An epiphytic lipstick-plant subshrub from Vietnam and Cambodia with hanging stems, leathery elliptic leaves and long (about 8 cm) tubular flowers that are bright red outside and pale yellow inside. It grows in submontane wet forest at roughly 450–1,500 m, where our measured sites show warm, very wet summers and cool, drier winters. Grow it like a cool-intermediate hanging Aeschynanthus: bright shade, humid air, an airy mix and a slightly drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
Epiphytic on trees in wet tropical forest, with trailing stems hanging from trunks and branches. The measured sites are montane forest in northern Vietnam and on Bokor in the Cambodian Elephant Mountains.
Recorded at 450–1,500 m; our three measured sites are at about 990, 1,045 and 1,500 m.
