Big Apple Lipstick Plant - 6" Hanging Basket - Aeschynanthus radicans

Looking for a houseplant that knows how to make an entrance? The Big Apple Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) is ready to steal the spotlight in your home. Suspended in a gorgeous 6" hanging basket, this trailing beauty features cascading, deep green foliage that perfectly sets the stage for its main event: spectacular, vibrant red blooms that emerge from dark maroon tubes, looking exactly like a tube of perfectly applied lipstick. Natives of the West Indies, the plants grow as epiphytes in the wild, but they're most comfortable in hanging baskets in the home. Blooms should come and go all year if the plant has suitable bright light and adequate water. The soil shouldn't dry out completely but should not be soggy. Like all plants from the tropics, lipstick plants suffer in low humidity. Misting the leaves will increase the humidity. Measurements are approximate.

• Allow the top couple of inches of soil to dry out between waterings
• Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight
• Its natural cascading habit makes it an ideal choice for high shelves, hanging hooks, or bright corners
• Features unique, tubular red flowers that contrast beautifully against lush, waxy leaves
• The plant you will receive is growing in a 6" hanging basket
