🌺 Botanical Info

• Scientific Name: Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Fireworks’ (cultivar)

• Common Name: Lipstick Fireworks Plant, Lipstick Plant

• Family: Gesneriaceae (African violet family)

🌱 Plant Characteristics

• Leaves: Glossy, thick, and slightly succulent; some varieties have variegation with creamy edges or mottled colors.

• Flowers: Tubular, bright red or reddish-orange flowers that emerge from dark buds, resembling lipstick tubes—hence the name.

• Growth Habit: Trailing or cascading, ideal for hanging baskets.

🌤️ Growing Conditions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch leaves; too little can reduce flowering.

• Soil: Light, airy, well-draining potting mix. A mix for African violets or epiphytic plants works well.

• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Do not let sit in water; it dislikes soggy roots.

🌿 Care Tips

• Encourage blooming with regular feeding (use a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season).

• Prune leggy growth to maintain fullness and shape.

• Repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil and promote healthy root growth.

🪴 Best Uses

• Excellent as a hanging plant, shelf accent, or in a window box with indirect light.

• Its trailing vines and bright blooms make it a striking decorative piece, especially when in full flower.
