Lipstick Plant Plant Features
Lipstick plant is a beautiful flowering indoor plant prized for its shiny foliage and interesting flowers. It gets its name because the flower buds peek out of dark-colored tubes, looking like a miniature tube of lipstick.This tropical houseplant puts on a lovely display in front of a bright window and is an excellent choice for adding a splash of color to brightly lit kitchens, bathrooms, and dining rooms.
Lipstick Plant Growing Instructions
Grow lipstick plant in a medium to bright spot. The
more light it gets, the better lipstick plant will bloom. If you have a
lipstick plant that won't produce flowers, try moving it to a brighter
spot.
Water lipstick plant enough to keep the soil moist, but not wet or
saturated for extended periods. Don't let lipstick plant wilt, but also
take care not to overwater it. If this houseplant stays too wet, it will
suffer from root rot.
Fertilize lipstick plant monthly in spring and summer to help it produce
lots of flowers. Use any general-purpose houseplant fertilizer. Just be
sure to follow the instructions on the product's packaging.
Note: This plant is not intended for human or animal consumption.
