The species has also been described as growing as an epiphyte (i.e. on trees).The species has glossy, oval-shaped leaves about 75mm long. The deep red, bell shaped flowers occur during spring and summer, the exact flowering time depending on the geographical location where the plant is grown. The flowers occur in terminal clusters of up to six.
