How to fertilize Backet Plant

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Backet Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can someone please identify? A resident of the complex was moving out and gave this beauty to my husband to give to me because, well, because I'm the lady with all the plants. 🤗 He's gone so I can't ask him unfortunately. There is a tag on the pot that says, Exotic Angel Plants. Apparently it is a collection made up of more than 200 different varieties of houseplants. So that narrows it down a bit... thanks internet. The leaves feel kinda succulenty I know not a word. Anyhow... scanning through the app it couldn't make up its mind probably because I wasn't getting a good pic. Regular internet Lens either. I finally just picked Lipstick plant. Wishful thinking on my part I'm sure. Thanks in advance guys! #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #greggang #succulentlove #plantid

Tiny buds??💄😲 I was out saying hello to my Lipstick plant just now. Making sure that she was happy where I put her. Decided to move her and saw these little guys. Wasn't sure whether these were the beginnings of new leaves or if they were tiny buds getting ready to bloom? Also as you see in the picture some of the tips of the leaves are brown. Is that caused from too much sun? Thanks everybody y'all are the best!! #lipstickplant #greggang #happyplants #newgrowth #succulentlove #aeschynanthus #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #succulents #sanantoniogreggang #succulentsquad #mislabelledplants #misidentified

It looks like my Lipstick Plant is about to bloom! I’ve heard that the flowers actually look like little lipstick tubes 💄, so I’m really excited to see such unusual blossoms. Does anyone have experience with this plant? I believe those are flower buds, but it’s hard to tell… #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #Blooming #LipstickPlant

My lipsticks are starting to get really dark purple leaves. I’m worried something is wrong. Maybe over watering? I can’t find anything about the leaves turning purple/ red. #TwistedLipstickPlant

Help needed Hello plant friends! I am new to this group. I got this little lipstick plant from a friend last year and I was super excited to see it flowering last month. Now I am having problems with some bugs and it already lost quite a few leaves. I think they come from little flies and the maggots get inside the leaves. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I heard about systemic pesticides.

I'm soooo excited. My twisted Lipstick has started to bloom!!!! She is soo pretty #twistedlipstickplant #hoya
