I got some new plants today and was looking for any advice on these guys:
1.Lipstick Euro Mix- Asechynanthus radicans
2.Dracaena "magenta" & "bi color"
3. zebra red hill - Zebrina Pendula
New Plants
Type: house plant
Zebrina Pendula:
Comments: Wandering Jew is a suitable plant for a
hanging pot. It grows in medium light intensity but the
purple leaf coloration is more pronounced in stronger light.
Keep the soil evenly moist or allow slight drying between
watering. Make weekly applications of dilute fertilizer
when the plant is actively growing. Ideal temperatures
are between 60 and 80 degrees. The plant may be pinched
to encourage branching.
Lipstick
Culture: Aeschynanthus radicans need plenty of light, but not direct sunlight. They thrive in summer heat and winter temperatures should not drop below 60 degrees. The compost should consist of 2 parts peat moss to 1 part sand. Water and fertilize the plant often during the growing season and mist it regularly. It can tolerate slight drying-out in between waterings. Water sparingly during the winter rest period.
Thanks HB - I didn't know the zebra red hill was a wandering jew type. I did look the others up but wanted to see if anyone on here has first hand experience with any of them.
