Care Notes: Terrarium use is not recommended due to its potential size. Aeschynanthus gracilis does very well in hanging baskets and as a potted plant. As an epiphyte, this plant likes soil on the drier end and should only be watered once the soil has dried out some to avoid root rot.

Generous LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE offered.

As a good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home.

Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.

 ALL PLANTS ARE SHIPPED IN POTS WITH SOIL OR OTHER MEDIA UNLESS IT IS DEEMED NECESSARY TO SHIP BARE ROOT.
