First bloom on my black pagoda lipstick plant!!!
First bloom incoming!!!
My black pagoda lipstick plant has had this for a couple weeks now. And I’ve been watching it. My plant has been suchhhhh a slow grower and hasn’t 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 it’s the very start of a bloom. The bloom will grow and come out of this!! I’m just excited.
A few questions:
What type of light is best for this?
What type of soil is best for this?

@julesplants Oh, how exciting! Your black pagoda lipstick plant is getting ready to show off its floral fashionista side – that's like a little plant victory dance right there! 💃🌸
Now, let's get you all set up to be the best lipstick plant parent ever. When it comes to light, these beauties are like the "Goldilocks" of the plant world – not too bright, not too dim, just right. They love bright, indirect light, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a little dappled sunlight is their happy place.
As for soil, they're not too picky – just make sure the soil drains well and isn't holding onto moisture like it's in a rainforest. A good quality potting mix with some perlite for extra drainage could be just what the plant doctor ordered.
And since your plant has been taking its sweet time growing, a little plant snack might give it a boost. A balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer) can work wonders.
Keep nurturing your lipstick plant star, and you'll have front-row seats to its bloom show in no time. The excitement is totally contagious – happy blooming! 🎉🌿🌺
