Black Pagoda (Lipstick plant) - 4''

The Black Pagoda (Lipstick Plant), in a 4-inch pot, is a captivating and unusual plant, known for its deep, variegated foliage and striking flowers. This variety features dark green leaves with intricate patterns of purple and black on the underside, creating an eye-catching contrast. Its waxy, glossy leaves give it an exotic appearance, while the plant’s trailing growth habit makes it a great choice for hanging baskets or as a unique accent in mixed planters.

The Black Pagoda thrives in bright, indirect light, and should be placed near a window where it can receive consistent, filtered sunlight. It prefers a well-draining potting mix, and you should water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as this plant is prone to root rot. In favorable conditions, the Black Pagoda will reward you with clusters of tubular, bright red flowers that resemble lipstick tubes, adding an extra layer of beauty to this already stunning plant.

This plant enjoys moderate humidity levels, so occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in drier environments. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to encourage lush growth and frequent blooming. The Black Pagoda is a low-maintenance, visually striking plant that is perfect for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.
