Aeschynanthus longicaulis 'Black Pagoda' (Lipstick Plant)
Aeschynanthus longicaulis 'Black Pagoda'
Aeschynanthus longicaulis 'Black Pagoda' is a showstopper with striking foliage and unique blooms. The dark, glossy leaves are adorned with a pattern of light green veins on top and rich maroon undersides, making this plant a standout in any collection. When in bloom, its tubular, orange-red flowers resemble a tube of lipstick, adding a pop of color to the bold foliage.
This tropical beauty thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a bit of humidity. It's perfect for hanging baskets or trailing over shelves where its cascading vines can shine. Easy to care for, lipstick plant only needs watering when the top few inches of soil are dry, making it a great choice for plant enthusiasts of all levels.
Lipstick Plant Basic Care: Easy
- Watering: Don't let it completely dry out. Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.
- Light: Opt for bright, filtered light. Direct sunlight can burn the foliage, while too little light may cause leaves to drop.
- Soil/Drainage: It best suits a well-aerated, draining tropical mix, though it can handle a standard indoor potting mix.
- Temperature/Humidity: It's OK with average room temperatures and humidity but thrives in warmer and humid conditions.
