Lipstick Plants for Sale Online

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.

Lipstick Plant likes to dry out occasionally between watering. It does not like to stay or sit in water or get too dry. Lipstick Plants that are watered too often usually rot, meaning the plants will die. Originally from tropical conditions, Lipstick Plant does like high humidity. Pebble trays or having the plant in the kitchen or bathroom which are normally more humid work well.

Any all purpose fertilizer will work for Lipstick Plants. Indoor houseplant fertilizers fall into two groups: water soluble, liquid quick release, and granular, slow release fertilizers. Jack's Classic Indoor plant food works well as a powder, quick release fertilizer that is mixed with water to quickly provide nutrients to a plant that has been in a container for an extended time. Osmocote Indoor/Outdoor is an option as a granular, slow release fertilizer that can be applied while potting and planting. Any type of fertilizer offers nutrients that help plants with the transition to a new environment. We offer a one year warranty on our plants when you purchase Bio-tone at checkout and use it per label instructions. Any of these fertilizers may be used when planting Lipstick Plants. The best fertilizer for Lipstick Plant that encourages blooming is Jack's Classic Blossom Booster.

Lipstick Plants need a well-draining soil, and prefers to have slightly moist conditions. Regular potting mix with sphagnum moss added or African Violet potting mix works well.
