  • Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus) is a beautiful tropical epiphytic houseplant known for its trailing vines and glossy, waxy leaves. Native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia, this plant naturally grows on trees rather than in soil, giving it a cascading, vine-like habit that makes it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated planters.

    The most striking feature of the Lipstick Plant is its unusual flowers. In early spring and throughout the growing season, it produces tubular reddish-orange blooms that emerge from dark buds—resembling a tube of lipstick, which gives the plant its common name. These vibrant flowers contrast beautifully against the deep green foliage, creating a bold and exotic display.

    The Lipstick Plant stands out for its trailing growth and uniquely shaped flowers that look like miniature tubes of lipstick. Its combination of glossy foliage and bright blooms makes it an excellent choice for adding color and dimension to indoor spaces. Easy to grow and visually striking, it’s perfect for plant lovers who want a flowering vine with a tropical flair.


     
  • Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while low light may reduce flowering.

    Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy.

    Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one suited for epiphytes (such as a mix with orchid bark, perlite, or coco coir).

    Thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C); avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C)

    Thrives in moderate to high humidity; benefits from occasional misting or a humid environment.

    Moderate to fast growth, especially in warm, humid conditions

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
