The Lipstick Plant is a striking tropical vine appreciated for its glossy, deep green foliage and vibrant tubular flowers that resemble miniature tubes of lipstick. Its cascading growth habit makes it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant on shelves.
Light Needs: Lipstick Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some morning sun but avoid direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. In lower light conditions, their growth may slow down, and flowering might be reduced.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Lipstick Plant consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering in the winter months but do not let the soil dry out completely.
Humidity Needs: Lipstick Plants prefer high humidity levels. Mist the foliage regularly or place the plant on a humidity tray to increase moisture around the plant. Avoid placing them near drafts or heating vents, as they prefer stable, humid conditions.
