Aeschynanthus fulgens is a species found in Peninsula Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. This epiphytic species inhabits evergreen lowland, hill or cloud forests or deciduous forests at elevations from sea level to 1300 metres.

 

Description

 

The stems are arching to pendent and long. The leaves are smooth and either dull green or green mottled with purple. and the flowers measure 2 cm. Plants bloom during the spring and summer. The flowers are red to orange and sometimes yellowed at their bases. Resembling Aeschynanthus parasiticus and Aeschynanthus speciosus, the species can be misidentified as one of them.  

 

This plant is flowering size, and plants are growing in pots or on mounts. Grow Aeschynanthus fulgens in a pot, basket or on a mossy mount. For a potting media, use a perlite, moss and fine bark mix. Make sure the plant gets sufficient air movement particularly when gown in humidity above 70%; always give Aeschynanthus moderate shade, although this species seems to grow well when placed in moderate light. Plants need to be grown in a wet and slightly dry cycle; I water this species once a week or when the potting mix starts looking dry and mounted plants get sprayed every day. This species likes an intermediate to warm greenhouse with night low temperatures of 15-24 degrees and daytime temperatures of 25-34 degrees. Plants will grow and flower indoors if warmth, air circulation, and reasonable light are provided.
