Aeschynanthus longicaulis - Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant
Aeschynanthus longicaulis is an epiphytic vining gesneriad, grown for its beautifully colored, semi-succulent foliage and yellow-orange blooms. The leaves are dark with electric green patterning, and the undersides of the leaves often have dark red or purple patterning, giving this plant it's nickname, Tiger Lipstick. Though these Lipstick Plants are in the same family as African Violets, their trailing vines make them more similar in care and appearance to Hoyas.
PLANT CARE
• Light: Perfect for medium, indirect light
• Water: Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry to the touch
• Considerations: Use a well-draining soil, and select a planter with drainage. Pet friendly!
