Yellow lipstick plant ( rare plant)

The yellow lipstick plant, despite the name, isn’t actually that rare. It’s a beautiful flowering houseplant with a more common name: Aeschynanthus pulcher. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Appearance:

• Leaves: Glossy, waxy green leaves with pointed tips.
• Flowers: The star of the show! They are the source of the “lipstick” reference. These vibrant, tubular flowers emerge from dark red buds and resemble open mouths with bright yellow throats.
• Habit: This evergreen perennial vine can trail downwards or climb with support.

Origin:

• Native to Southeast Asia, particularly regions like the Philippines and Indonesia.

Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 60-80°F (15-27°C).
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering again.
• Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, using a pebble tray with water, or employing a humidifier.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter works well.

Blooming:

• Flowers typically bloom in clusters during spring and summer.
• Mature plants are more likely to produce blooms.
• Encouraging blooms may involve providing cooler temperatures and less water during winter months.

Overall:

The yellow lipstick plant, Aeschynanthus pulcher, is a captivating houseplant with vibrant flowers and attractive foliage. While not truly rare, it may not be as readily available as some common houseplants. Its trailing form makes it suitable for hanging baskets or placing on shelves where it can cascade downwards. However, with its specific care needs for light, humidity, and watering, it might be better suited for experienced plant owners who can provide the ideal conditions for it to flourish.

Additional Notes:

• Propagation: This plant can be propagated through stem cuttings.
• Toxicity: Like other Aeschynanthus species, all parts of the yellow lipstick plant are toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
