What's eating my aeschynanthus radicans 'curly q'?

Aeschynanthus radicans 'Curly Q' (Lipstick Plant) is a trailing epiphytic houseplant. Mealybugs are its worst enemy, hiding in the curled leaf bases. Spider mites strike in dry air, and aphids sometimes colonise the bright flower buds. As a flowering indoor plant, keep it away from other infested plants.

Cottony white masses in curled leaf junctions and around flower buds; plant becomes sticky with honeydew Dab each colony with an alcohol-soaked swab; spray entire plant with neem oil emulsion; repeat weekly and quarantine affected hanging baskets

Tiny yellow specks across glossy leaves; webbing visible on undersides when conditions are very dry Mist or shower foliage; apply insecticidal soap spray to all leaf surfaces; maintain humidity above 50%

Soft green or brown insects cluster on new growth and around flower buds, distorting emerging leaves Remove by hand or with a gentle water jet; treat with insecticidal soap spray; avoid high-nitrogen fertilising which encourages the lush soft growth aphids prefer
