Lipstick Vine 'Bolero'

Description:
Lipstick Vine 'Bolero' is a stunning trailing plant known for its lush, glossy foliage and eye-catching deep red tubular flowers that emerge from dark buds, resembling a lipstick tube. This vibrant houseplant thrives in indoor environments, adding a touch of the tropics to any space. Its cascading growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, where its elegant vines can drape beautifully. With minimal care, this resilient plant will reward you with healthy foliage and frequent blooms.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not overly wet. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent excess water from accumulating. During the Winter months, reduce watering frequency.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). A bloom-boosting fertilizer with higher phosphorus content can help encourage more abundant flowering. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter.

Lighting:
Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some lower light conditions, brighter light will encourage better blooming. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes to prevent stress.

Humidity:
Requires moderate to high humidity to thrive. If your indoor air is dry, mist the leaves occasionally, place the plant near a humidity tray, or use a humidifier to maintain optimal moisture levels.
