My Aeschynanthus (Mona Lisa) is almost in bloom again, as well as putting on plenty of new growth.

This look good. As its a cousin of the African violet I think you must have done well to keep it so long.

Thanks all!
Drc - it didn't know that. As far as keeping it, it's a doddle! This gets sat in a bowl of water for a couple of hours when it dries out. That's it! I will have to repot it when it's finished blooming though.

Pretty much! They like to be well lit, but not direct sun, winter rest in cool conditions and they like humidity.
