Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light encourages fuller growth and flowering.
  • Best Room: A hanging basket in a warm bright room is ideal.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly in spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: Moderate humidity helps the curled leaves stay tidy.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm and away from draughts.
  • Thirst: Water when the top of the mix begins to dry; avoid leaving it soggy.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – keep away from cats, dogs and children who may chew the leaves or stems.
  • The Bedding: Use a loose epiphytic mix with perlite and bark.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from stem cuttings in warmth.
  • Space Needs: Let the twisted stems trail naturally.
  • Speed: Steady in bright warmth.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybug and aphids.
  • Moving Day: Repot when crowded, avoiding oversized pots.
  • Haircut: Trim after flowering or when stems become untidy.

  • Plant Lore: Lipstick plants are epiphytes, so they like airy roots and bright filtered light rather than heavy wet compost.
