Common name: lipstick plant/lipstick vine
Scientific name: Aeschynanthus radicans
Origin: Malaysia
Light requirements: medium to bright spot (more light it gets, the better lipstick plant blooms) Plant Difficulty level: easy
Flowering time: most abundantly in the summer and fall.

  • Planting and care – 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.
  • Flowers will develop in the summer and will last up to a few weeks. Be sure to avoid persistent droughts whilst the plant is in the blooming process. In spring, repot every three years with ‘Houseplant’ compost.
  • Propagate lipstick plants via cuttings…

Remove the lower leaves, cut the cutting (10 to 15 cm) diagonally below a leaf node and                    place up to three lipstick plant cuttings at least 5 cm deep in the same pot. Water the substrate well            and then covers the pot with a plastic bag to ensure constant high humidity.

A lot of time goes by before roots develop at the cuttings of Lipstick. It takes about two                        months before roots have actually developed on the cutting.

  •  Lipstick plant care begins with airy soil and proper fertilization. A 3-2-1 NPK ratio liquid fertilizer gives a good result as long as you keep the soil moist. Be sure that you add a small amount of vitamins to the potting soil as part of the fertilization program.
