Lipstick Plant,
Aeschynanthus radicansPLANT CARE GUIDE
Light Requirements
The Lipstick Plant needs bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided.
Watering Needs
Water the plant when the top 1/2 to 1 inch of soil is dry. When watering, water the plant with fresh, lukewarm water generously and evenly from above, then tip out any excess water. Be sure to reduce watering during the cold season as, like most plants, the Lipstick plant does not like to be overwatered.
Temperature Preferences
Does well at or slightly warmer than room temperature (between 65°F - 75°F). Cold temperatures or rooms with strong drafts should be avoided.
Humidity Tolerance
Prefers higher levels of humidity, around 75% or above. Use a humidifier or occasionally mist the plant to increase humidity.
Repotting Needs
The plant can live happily in the provided pot for about a year before it is ready to be repotted. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.
Unhealthy Plant Signs
Dropping leaves may be a sign of overwatering or that the plant is not getting enough sunlight.
Toxicity
Lipstick plants and its blooms are not considered toxic to animals.
