Can anyone identify this plant? My husband adopted it from a colleague who was leaving and he’s going to have it on a ship with him for months on end. We’re trying to figure out how to take care of it properly before he leaves

I think it’s a lipstick plant/Aeschynanthus. It looks like it could use a good check of the roots to see if it needs to be downsized. They like being more snug in their pots and it looks like it’s either lost some leaves or the root system is in some distress from the looks of it. Hope this helps.

Thank you! We were talking about repotting it, so this helps. I’ll start there and check out how it looks
