The lipstick plant is native to Malaysia and is one of our unique plants. Normally grown in hanging baskets, these trailing plants have orange, red, or yellow tubular blooms that grow from a calyx more than an inch from the tips of vines. It’s an epiphyte with a native habitat in the forest, which means it grows well in partially-shade areas and can cling harmlessly to the sides of trees and logs. Water moderately in the summer and sparingly in the winter, making sure to use well-draining soil. Lipstick love warm temperatures and high humidity, but they do not tolerate saturated soil or cold water on their leaves, so be careful when watering and allow the soil to dry in between.

 

We recommend pinching Lipstick once after transplanting and the roots are well established. An additional trim may be necessary for the final shape of the pot.
