Lipstick Plant 4"

The lipstick plant, also known as Aeschynanthus radicans, is a popular and attractive flowering houseplant known for its unique, tubular flowers that resemble a tube of lipstick. The lipstick plant is characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves and vibrant, tubular flowers that emerge from the leaf axils. The flowers typically have bright red, orange, or pink colors, resembling tubes of lipstick, hence the common name. The foliage is often cascading or trailing, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or elevated planters.

Care:

• Light: The lipstick plant prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Place the plant near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or artificial grow lights.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to wilt.
