Orange Flowering Lipstick Plant prefers to have slightly moist conditions. Regular potting mix with sphagnum moss added or African Violet potting mix works well. It is crucial to have a well-draining potting mix. Well-draining soil will ensure your plant does not run any risk of root rot disease. This disease happens when your plant sits in standing water for too long, and that causes its roots to rot. If you are unsure if you should water your plant, check the moisture of the soil. If your soil is moist, wait a couple of days before watering to ensure your plant does not get overwatered.

How Much Sunlight Should My Orange Flowering Lipstick Plant Receive?

Orange Flowering Lipstick Plant needs bright, indirect light from a windowsill. Northern or eastern-facing windows would be ideal conditions, the perfect amount of light to encourage bud and bloom production. A shaded western or southern window might work as long as no strong, direct sun touches the leaves. Direct sun will burn the leaves while too little light prevents the plant from flowering.
