Lipstick Vine 'Pagoda'

Description:
Lipstick Vine 'Pagoda' is a vibrant and exotic houseplant known for its cascading growth and striking tubular red flowers that emerge from dark maroon buds, resembling a tube of lipstick. Its glossy, deep green leaves create a lush, trailing effect, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets or shelves. This plant is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for, thriving with minimal effort when provided with the right conditions. With proper care, it will reward you with continuous blooms and healthy, trailing vines.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. During cooler months, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows.

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

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may produce fewer flowers. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. If the air is dry, occasional misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier can help maintain optimal humidity levels and encourage blooming.
