Whatās wrong with Harry?? I got this black pagoda lipstick plant as a rescue from my local plant stand on a very cold Thanksgiving night. Not sure what happened there but he was basically uprooted. So I replanted him into my chunky Grow Queen soil with some extra perlite and stuck him about 6 ft away from an east facing window, BUT he has his own grow light about 1 ft up & out so the crown and the leaves get light. He was beautiful when I first got him! But look at the second picture: thatās him now. Idk why he keeps loosing leaves. I thought maybe it was damage from the cold and to the roots. At first it was healthy-looking green leaves just falling, but now the leaves are yellowing and falling. So many naked vines, so I tried to wrap and bury nodes but thatāll take time. Whatās wrong? What can I do? I water when top 2 inches are dry. #LipstickPlant #LoosingLeaves #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #GregGang

Somebody or somehow the flower fell off of my lipstick plant. Iām a little upset, but not too much because the plant currently has about 15 more buds growing in! Itās beautiful! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantLove #BlackPagodaLipstickPlant #julesplants

First bloom incoming!!! My black pagoda lipstick plant has had this for a couple weeks now. And Iāve been watching it. My plant has been suchhhhh a slow grower and hasnāt done much in the last 6 months. (Tips appreciated) Today I decided to look up what blooms look like on this plant and low and behold itās the very start of a bloom. The bloom will grow and come out of this!! Iām just excited. A few questions: What type of light is best for this? What type of soil is best for this? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #BlackPagodaLipstickPlant #julesplants

Does anyone have an idea what this plant is? My boyfriend got me a āpet friendlyā plant subscription because my cats like to eat anything they can get their mouths on and the box doesnāt come with identification for the plants. This app has gotten all of them right so far but itās having a hard time woth my most recent one. The closest its gotten so far is a Dogtooh Lily but Iām still not entirely sure itās correct.

Koro sensei is possibly putting out a new vine. I'm impressed but it will take him a few months to properly acclimate to my home but I'm happy with the progress. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #blackpagodalipstickplant #plantaddict #newgrowth

I love the pot I decided to get for my black pagoda lipstick plant; I feel like it brings out the vain stripping. I may want to get a solid black decal for it but I like the look of the pot without it. I have a love hate relationship with the nursery I got it at since the last time I was there they had white flies everywhere but they usually have the most unique plants. They also had some pretty big Thai constellations in some 4 inch pots for $65.99; I was thinking about buying one there since they're alot bigger than mine and because I want one explicitly for chopping and proping for other people. I don't plan on charging just trading. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #lipstickplant #blackpagodalipstickplant #newpots

I think my plant got over-watered at some point and I'm trying to get it back on track. Any advice, other than the obvious of not watering? #BlackPagodaLipstickPlant
