Black Pagoda Lipstick Vine (Aeschynanthus Longicaulis) 10” hanging basket

Distinctive and easy to care for, the Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant offers visual interest through both its foliage and flowers! This trailing beauty showcases glossy leaves, patterned with mottled shades of green on top and deep purple undersides, creating a rich contrast. When in bloom, tubular orangey-red flowers emerge from dark, almost black calyxes adding a bold splash of colour. Its cascading growth makes it ideal for suspended planters or elevated surfaces. 

CARE:

• Thrives with consistent bright, indirect light. A few hours of morning sun can be beneficial. Too little light may reduce flowering, while prolonged exposure to direct midday sunlight can scorch the leaves.
• Allow 1/3-1/2 of the topsoil to dry out before watering. Avoid keeping soil constantly wet, as this plant is sensitive to soggy roots.
• Moderate humidity is appreciated but this plant can adapt to household humidity.
