The Lipstick Plant is a vibrant tropical houseplant celebrated for its glossy, trailing foliage and striking blooms. Its cascading stems are lined with rich green leaves, and when in season, clusters of bold red, tubular flowers emerge from reddish orange buds—resembling a tube of lipstick being uncapped. This playful display makes it a favorite choice for hanging baskets or shelves, where its cascading growth can be showcased.
Thriving in bright, indirect light, the Lipstick Plant prefers evenly moist, well-draining soil, with the top layer allowed to dry slightly between waterings. It enjoys warm temperatures and higher humidity, rewarding with more frequent blooms under ideal conditions. Non-toxic to pets, it’s a safe and lively addition to any home.
