Black Pagoda (Lipstick plant) - 2''
The Black Pagoda (Lipstick plant), grown in a 2-inch pot, is an eye-catching indoor plant with dark, mottled green and purple leaves. This trailing plant gets its name from its tubular, red-orange flowers that resemble lipstick, which bloom in clusters. The foliage alone makes this plant a decorative addition to any indoor garden, while its flowers add a surprising pop of color.
This compact variety is perfect for smaller spaces like shelves or hanging planters, where its trailing vines can cascade gracefully. The plant thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys regular watering, although it’s important to let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering.
Whether you're looking to brighten up a windowsill or create a striking hanging display, the Black Pagoda Lipstick plant is a stunning option for any home or office space.
