Selling size: Well rooted plant in a jiffy bag

The “Tiger Lipstick” plant, also known as Aeschynanthus Black Pagoda, is a beautiful and unique houseplant. Here’s a breakdown of its care:

Light:
- This plant thrives in bright, indirect light.
- Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Insufficient light can hinder flowering and cause leaf drop.
Watering:
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Overwatering is a common problem, so ensure proper drainage.
- Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Humidity:
- Lipstick plants prefer moderate to high humidity.
- Misting the plant regularly can help, especially in dry environments.
- placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can also increase ambient humidity.

Temperature:
- Ideal temperatures range from 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C).
- Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as this can cause leaf drop.
- avoid sudden temperature changes, and drafts.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix designed for epiphytes or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
- well aerated soil is very important.
Fertilizing:
- Feed the plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter.
Pests:
- Watch out for common houseplant pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.
- Treat any infestations promptly.
