Aeschynanthus marmoratus AKA Marmalade or Zebra Lipstick trailing plant

Like many of the plants we share our houses with Aeschynanthus are epiphytic plants (they grow on & in tropical ever green trees). This makes it possible for them to live in the conditions we can offer in the average UK home.   They are commonly known as lipstick plants for their vivid red tubular shaped flowers.  These evolved to enable them to entice humming birds to pollinate their flowers.  In our house they flower for over two months producing flowers all along their vines.  
Like many plants which can live happily with us these are epiphytic plants which grow on and up evergreen trees in high altitudes in the humid tropical forests across the islands of the Malay archipelago. This variety occurs in the wild where its attractive dark green, purple & lime green striped leaves look like stained glass as the light shines through them. Their flowers, evolved to attract birds, are tubular in shape as & are an orange/red rather than the bright red of many of its cultivars. 
In our experience these are easy plants to look after.  Although some care guidance suggest that they should be kept temperatures between 18-26°C we have found that they can tolerate it as low as 10°C.  This is as long as this is not for a prolonged period of time & they are kept away from cold drafts.  There is some evidence that cooler and drier conditions during the winter also encourage the development of more flower buds for the next year.  
Like most tropical plants Aeschynanthus enjoy humidity.  However because they are epiphytic they can tolerate a greater range of humidity levels than plants such as a calatheas which have a very narrow range of habitat. They enjoy a spot in the Kitchen or bathroom where humidity levels are naturally higher.  In another room avoid heat sources and if the air is very dry add to their humidity by misting regularly.  Do this in the morning to best avoid fungal disease.  
They also benefit from regular feeding and, if you want to encourage the development of flowers,  choose a fertiliser with additional potassium.  
 
These are very generous plants which are established in 14cm hanging pots with a minimum of 35cm trail.  Your plant will come with its own comprehensive care guidance.
